Thank you everyone for the explanation! Once they pointed out "B" is standing for block I understood it immediately.
I also didn't get it as I'm more pragmatic about it; I can tolerate some files containing other things as long as the file is small and no one is reusing the code in it.

It's not so much about tolerating it, but more about the fact that it violates the BEM rules, which state that styles of one block should not be present in the files of another block.
