Yes, but the idea was not to type less! The idea was to save bytes! We are always trying and saving bytes by shrinking, minifying, compressing, etc... look at reset.css, for example. Important bytes could be saved, instead of using "var(--main-color);" for each property! This is simply code repetition! Once we can use "selector-1, selector-2", it seems just logic to me, that we are supposed to do the same with properties! In JS we can do things like: x= y= z= "sameValue"; Therefore, uglifiers/minifiers can use this technique to save more bytes...specially useful in the current "age of mobile access" we live in, and for big sites(like the one I work on(with about 90 million unique visitors per month). Cheers.
