I think the plan going forward is to allow people to implement their own CSS layout primitives using Houdini, but I haven't kept track of how it has evolved or progressed.

The more features they add, the less likely a competitor can arise without investing a billion man-hours.

IIRC, there are no directions in CSS other than the block and inline axes.
But css is not a “programming language” it’s a negotiation between browser engineers (who need to keep things fast and responsive) and web devs (who need to implement a fashionable design that is still distinguising for their brand)
