The distinction between background images and "visuals created in CSS" is not clear (background images can be created entirely in CSS, e.g. using gradients), and it doesn't explain why background images, but not other styles, are a problem for high-contrast mode.

Visually indicating state solely via CSS styles can be problematic when users have modified styles for accessibility purposes, such as “High Contrast” settings for people with visibility impairments. To ensure the state will be visible in high-contrast mode, the visuals are created using CSS borders on pseudo-elements, rather than via background images.  Background images are not displayed in most high contrast themes because they interfere with the legibility of super-imposed text, but borders are usually preserved.
