Ok, just following a tangent, please let's not dismiss scopes as a clutch. They are a fundamental tool of software organization, and every large project that doesn't have scope rules ends up as spaghetti.

The fight from standard bodies against scoped CSS has lead to the current situation where every site's CSS evolves to be a mess where nobody is even sure if the rules are used, but can't delete them.

all I said was that scoping is an easier mental model than specificity. i am not saying that is a bad thing. but i can see how it would seem that way since a lot of programmers, whether they realise it or not, aggressively look down on things that are easy. so it’s essy to assume that when i say something is easier, i am implying it’s bad or weak, but i assure you i don’t mean that.
