Because Bootstrap is much better suited for prototypes or backend engineers. I mean TailwindCSS is just a utility based frameworks. We're adding and removing margins, changing layouts, colors etc. That's is a much better choice if I'm a designer.

But at that point, why not just use CSS? The main appeal of these frameworks is usually "I'm a programmer, I don't want to learn design", so if you remove that part, what's left?

If you want to use CSS, go ahead. I mean who cares. Not sure what you're trying to convey.

Because using tailwind is much faster than just using CSS (once you've learnt it) - I've been using Tailwind since before it was called Tailwind (KiteTail) - But still use Bootstrap to scaffold out things that design doesn't matter, we need a form set - we need some cards etc. The moment we need to "design it" we go to Tailwind as it gives us zero opinions around design and lets us create exactly what we need at speed!
