Tailwind did not invent JIT.

Tailwind had to come up with something, and that something is it's JIT compiler, because shipping 10mb to the browser in dev was untenable. Let alone the people that never setup purgecss and were shipping that in production.

Mhm. Agreed. But the specific implementation, and especially the term "JIT" in the CSS space, is from Tailwind, right?
I think WindiCSS came up with it earlier than Tailwind. See https://antfu.me/posts/windicss-and-tailwind-jit
Likely based on what?
"JIT" as it pertains to CSS is a concept from Tailwind: https://v2.tailwindcss.com/docs/just-in-time-mode
