Why would you not have a design system that represents all of the Figma components, so that there is a direct 1-to-1 mapping from a Figma component to a code component? That’s like 80% of the purpose of Figma, to use the components to align with the code.

While Figma can be a useful tool for aligning design with code, I think it's unrealistic to expect it to accommodate all the constraints of the web platform. Relying solely on a 1-to-1 mapping between Figma components and code components can be problematic and may not accurately reflect the complexities and nuances of web development.
