I agree. The more worrying thing is that with proposals like CSS Modules, we're going even deeper down the rabbit hole with classes everywhere for everything.
Our tools have gotten good enough to allow us to imagine many permutations of a hypothetical future-browser, and the best ideas coming from these experimental technologies are being embraced by companies like Facebook and Google, who represent an obvious power-player in terms of spec influence.
In particular the recent trend of eliminating all the global scope/cascade issues (most notably via "CSS in JS" from the React community) is a good sign that our technology is evolving -- not merely mutating.
