By all means, I would love to have element queries. They would definitely help in many cases. You would have to limit their use to just those areas of markup where container widths are explicit.

If it shows up in 18 places I bet you there will be two different contexts with the same container size, but different looks, and element queries won't help you at this point. You'll still need to tailor your CSS classes for different contexts.

Obviously if I want styles to vary by context of their container, I'll need to create those rules. The desire for and utility of being able to do that is not at all in question. I don't see how having such rules is in any way mutually exclusive with element queries.
