I definitely see how that workflow works better in your setup, but... That doesn't apply to everyone? Not everyone works somewhere where they have an independent designer that can and will change the actual SASS, whereas others might even have designers that a perfectly comfortable rummaging around in e.g. JSX or Vue components. The indirection of a separate SASS file might not be worth it in those cases.

All of which is to say: just because it's not the best solution in your use case, that doesn't mean it doesn't solve actual problems for others in production.
