I should add that I think Tailwind, much as I love it, has been responsible for much of this problem. Tailwind’s creator, Adam Wathan, wrote a book called Refactoring UI. It’s a book that teaches you how to design, and one of the things it explicitly states is that you should add generous spacing around elements.

If you look at Tailwind UI, which is clearly governed by the principles laid out in Refactoring UI, you can pretty much see the blueprint behind 95% of websites today.
