RE: Suggestion for WCAG 2.2: disabling styles

This used to be a success criterion under WCAG 1.0. I suspect it is not now because CSS is considered to be an accessibility supported technology.
Those who work on UK public sector websites may be interested to know that the Government Digital Service (GDS) mandate that websites must be usable without either CSS or JavaScript. This applies to all central government departments and any other public sector organisations that adopt the GDS Service Standard.

Hello.

The success criterion 1.4.10 Reflow establishes: Content can be presented without loss of information or functionality, and without requiring scrolling in two dimensions for: vertical scrolling content at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-css-pixels>; horizontal scrolling content at a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels<https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#dfn-css-pixels>.
Why not also include in this criterion or in a new one that content can be presented without loss of information or functionality disabling all styles?
