Not quite. Dependecies of anything should be limited to one way. It's quite ridiculous to be specifying so many classes in the HTML for styling, and it means that it a) doesn't lend itself very well to a component based system and b) ties itself too closely to Tailwind, meaning it's almost impossible to break from it cleanly in the future unless you create something that mirrors the exact behavior of Tailwind.
Oh, and as for the filesize of Tailwind: over 1½MB uncompressed. That's way too much for the browser to be expected to parse on a low end mobile device.
Ashley Sheridan, I find your angle about saying that hmtl/css/js to be separated is fairly incomplete. If you think about everything that exists in any decent piece of software, then everything is a tree of components (or views, or divs or whatever you call them) and these things will have some associated styling perhaps, some logic perhaps etc)
It makes most sense for these things, if they exist in one place, to be defined in the component. What you then want is a mechanism for moving styling or logic to a more global place, if it makes sense to. But lots of the time, it makes sense to have it next to the place that it's needed.
Separating for the sake of it is like just introducing a service orientated architecture or micro services, just because.
Also, it's like organising by technology, rather than by feature, which I think makes a lot more sense. A big folder of all controllers or views (as many frameworks organise) doesn't really make sense to me, once you've done a lot of organising by feature.
Ashley, this talk clarifies Vasyl's points. They specifically address separation of concerns, clarifying that even CSS garden isn't separated as you believe. Because although the html has no awareness of the css, the css is fully aware of the html. Should the html change, the css breaks.
I started listening to the talk as a skeptic, and it really cleared things up for me.

50kb is my uncompressed Tailwind file. Because Tailwind goes together with PurgeCSS.
Mate, I beg you. Just google it before writing this nonsense. This is basics.
