It is a difference of having writing pseudo-class selectors over and over again for each affected rule, or just once or twice for a big block of rules. Personally, I don't think "does this person have the device set for vertical text" is any less of a media question than "does this person have the device set for at least 800px in width", or "does this person currently have the device in a vertical orientation" . That aside, if we had '@writing-mode(ttb)' instead of '@media (writing-mode: ttb)', the effect is the same.
