This is exactly the problem. Humans write code for humans, not for tailwind specialists and bots. It should be clear and easy to read unless there is a valid reason for weird code (optimisations, hacks that don't work otherwise etc). Tailwind introduces yet another convention where it is absolutely pointless to do so.

But isn’t BEM or a custom system of CSS variables strictly worse in this regard? Instead of knowing what class=“mb-4” means in Tailwind, they now need to know what class=“news-button” means in your specific application.

class="news-button" means that it's a news button and will be styled the way that news buttons are styled. What's difficult about that?
