And you cannot emulate functions by using a preprocessor in all use cases.
But what bothers me is the governance model of CSS, the increasing complexity that leads ultimately to more framework usage, not to thoughtful engineering of accessible front ends.
Very soon CSS will be Turing complete and we can have a JavaScript-free C64 emulator. Yay.
We need basically control structures and full access to user input to achieve that.
And we can only hope the vendors get the sandboxing right this time, otherwise we will get a entire new class of CSS based browser exploits.
The CMS usually allows search engines to get all content. The feature is to know human browser operators and make them pay, or know archiving/unblocking services and block them.
It makes sense economically since the part of the population using such services is so small and may have specific demographics that justify specific treatment just from a marketing POV.
Then you want search engines to get the whole content (okay at least before they started to summarise everything but the kitchen sink) - that will always leave a loophole.
