Is the idea that the nav bar wants to deliver "this is how I am styled" without interference from the page, potentially through some assembly on the server or preprocess or something?   Or it is just like "this is actually really hard to manage" with CSS and here's potentially a way to make it 'scope' easier?

It's both that the navigation bar wants to have its own set of CSS rules and doesn't want to get affected by other CSS rules; and it's hard to manage a large number of CSS rules manually without an encapsulation mechanism like a style isolation boundary [1].
