You aren't using it wrong, the only thing tailwind does better than 99% of devs is having default values that both look nice and mesh together well.
Utility based CSS has been around as long as classes have, tailwind is just one iteration of that. GitHub use to have a utility css library as well before switching to their new design.

So 99% of the value can be achieved with strict linting and autocomplete plugins.
Yes? I don't think anyone has ever argued that tailwindcss has a moat on anything, it has always been championed as a library created by a designer + dev who care about good UI design.
At least that's how I always seen it billed as, even when Adam was live streaming and saying as much in like 2018/2016.
