Re: [WICG/webcomponents] "open-stylable" Shadow Roots (#909)

@matthewp Sure, I might be confusing things by telling stories from different vantage points. (Rashomon! 😆) In https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/909#issuecomment-1885141783 I am describing the vantage point of a component consumer, and a good-hearted component author trying to meet their every need. Personally, as a component author, I actually prefer to expose a minimal API surface and disallow customizations, because I tend to weigh stability much more than customizability.

For this particular proposal, I don't disagree with @sorvell's framing. There is a small slice of use cases where open-stylable does solve problems – [the best articulation](https://toot.cafe/@kepstin@tenforward.social/111671002420573974) I've heard is "I own the entire page and all components, I want to use shadow DOM for `<slot>`s, and I just want one global stylesheet for everything". In that world, the component author and component consumer are embodied in the same person – there is no coordination needed.
