Using express in nodejs versus php jerry-rigged into apache is sort of an instance of what you're describing.

Technically yes, but in a way that's so trivial so as to be basically meaningless.
The amount I have to think about is considerably less. All the complexity just melts into Functions and Objects. There's similar stuff happening in React with inline styles. Mixins, variables, custom-properties, state-dependence, automatic-prefixes, and more are available without language extension when styles are expressed as Objects of css properties. Whether or not they're satisfactory, there are occasional efforts to derive more functionality from fewer abstractions.
