Only if you ignore this part of my comment:

> 95% of the value I get is the components and things

If you want (and only want) a pre-built site that just needs populated with content and maybe minor tweaks to things, then yeah it's React world. However I've rarely found that any template site (Tailwind or otherwise) is close enough to where it doesn't need medium to major surgery to meet my needs, at which point it's usually faster to just copy together components to what I actually want

No, I want to be able to @import "tailwindcss" without feeling guilty.

Well, meet https://basecoatui.com -- and there's more where that came from.

So, ehhm, no, I'm not ignoring the salient part of your comment: you are ignoring the entire point of my post, which is that if Tailwind had a non-React monetization strategy, things maybe, possibly, might have worked out better.
