Incredible achievement. Horrible development on CSS front.

CSS should NOT be becoming turing complete. Nor any other DSL.

Hasn't it been so for a while? I mean I agree with you but it's a bit late

It has been a while. This project that implemented logic gates in CSS is 10+ years old:

That is the problem though, DSLs always end up becoming turing complete, because there is always that use case they don't cover.
