IMO the only of these properties for which blocking inheritance seems a clear benefit is `text-indent`, for the reason described in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text/#text-indent-property

> Since the `text-indent` property inherits, when specified on a block element, it will affect descendant inline-block elements. For this reason, it is often wise to specify `text-indent: 0` on elements that are specified `display: inline-block`.

Outside markers are inline-block-like (and actual inline-blocks in Chromium LayoutNG), and this is not obvious to authors since they didn't set `display: inline-block` themselves, so `text-indent: 0` in UA origin seems wise.
