ExE-Boss has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-selectors] Why does `:is()` have the specificity of the most specific selector in its arguments? ==
https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-4/#matches

I believe it would make more sense if the specificity would be identical to that when the selector would be expanded into all possible combinations, which also makes [polyfilling using PostCSS](https://github.com/postcss/postcss-selector-matches) easier.
