It's a collision between half the industry telling designers they need to know HTML and CSS to do the CSS work themselves (instead of Software Engineers, because they apparently don't want to deal with it) while the other half of the industry makes it ever harder to do so.

Consistency isn't exactly a high point when it comes to industry signaling vs reality.

I love getting PRs from designers on my Vue project at work. They enjoy not having to wait on me and I enjoy focusing on application logic instead of CSS tweaking.

If markup and styling are not in JavaScript, designers do not need to touch JavaScript at all.

This is where the whole fight over what "separation of concerns" in the front-end means scores a clean point for the traditional definition.
