> Thus we get a lot of things like bootstrap and tailwind that erode the idea of CSS classes being somewhat semantic

Can you link to somewhere explaining why and how CSS is meant to be semantic? Search bots and screen readers don't read or use class names. They expect certain semantics from HTML tag names and HTML attribute names though.

I think this is mixing up something that is really only meant to be a convenience for developers here.

Tailwind would advocate you wrap up common styles within a web component so the web component filename would take the place of a class name so there's not much difference for developers. Lots of styling is purely decorative as well and doesn't have semantics so there isn't always a useful name to provide e.g. `gallery-container-wrapper` isn't telling you much.
