Looks like a false dichotomy. As far as I understand, the subject selector is not capable of all things that `:has()` is capable of.

If to choose anyway, then, of course, `:has()` is preferred since it allows (at least potentially) to do more complex and useful things like using multiple `:has()` (including nested ones) in the same selector:

    .example:has(nav a:has(> img) + div:has(span))

So we can have multiple `:has()` subselectors while we cannot have multiple subject selectors (and even if we did, that most likely would not be as readable / intuitive / straightforward as `:has()` is).
