Web authors want things and JavaScript lets them have what they want.
If CSS doesn't promise that they get what they want, they can and
route around CSS to make sure. Thus, deciding that they want the wrong
thing and not giving them what they want and CSS does not mean that
they stop doing things that they want to do.

However, if CSS let them get what they want, there'd be less latency,
which would be better for users.
