MODERATORS
CSS evolved a lot over the years, not sure how you could argue otherwise. 20 years ago we didn't have flexbox or grid or variables. Those are all huge for the impact they had on creating responsive layouts. Not to mention things built on top of CSS like CSS modules and LESS.
I also disagree that CSS is poorly documented. There's great documentation for it on MDN, but much of it won't make sense unless you invest time in understanding the browser rendering pipeline and how layering works. And you need a pretty deep understanding of to really master CSS.
Most devs don't bother because you can get CSS to be "good enough" even if it breaks in some edge cases. But that isn't very different from other forms of style sheet languages or real programming languages in general.
Design trends coming and going isn’t really CSS’s fault.
Tailwind is garbage people use because they'd rather write fast with spaghetti code than properly make consistent design
