> Consider e.g. Bootstrap Icons. They have over 2000 icons. The mixin approach would add 2000 * 13 = 26,000 characters to their CSS code. In contrast, their base .bi class is 4 declarations… And Font Awesome has even more icons…

That's a good argument. I take my opposition back.

This is like an inheritance vs. composition debate. Normally I prefer composition, but in CSS verbosity is a much bigger concern, as more code means more network usage.
