Maybe you're right, but honestly, I think they're just barfing out the median content related to UI development that you find on reddit and stackoverflow and github.
For better or worse, web UI development has descended down a dark rabbit hole of bad code over the last decade, and so that is what LLMs were trained on. GIGO.
Yeah, it quickly becomes a "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" thing between junior devs and LLMs.
I will say, if you use a Mistral model, and if you insist your CSS framework is Bulma (tell it, 'no tailwind', 'no preprocessor'), it does okay at staying away from Tailwind. (Not perfect, not great, but okay).
No LLM I've used can handle raw CSS well (yet). If you are carefully curating your own classes and styles, you might just be on your own for a bit.
