This has always been the case with CSS, hasn't it? When you use it for rendering something relatively complex, you're kinda doomed.

I get the dream, we want everything to be declarative, and leave room for future optimizations, so that we can write once and run everywhere forever.

But in practice, it's not really an improvement over traditional GUIs that let you draw directly. Hence CSS is literally adding draw[1].

This is a huge reason 90s.dev doesn't use HTML/CSS but starts from scratch and lets you draw right into WebGL2 yourself, or with high-level APIs if you want.
