I find the bifurcation between HTML elements and CSS statements maddening. Structural things like flexbox and grid would be far clearer as HTML element types.

HTML is for marking up the semantics of content - lists, headings, emphasis, etc… CSS is for presentation - how is appears in the target medium. The layout is 100% visual presentation and 100% belongs where it is, in CSS.

Dealing with multiple screen/windows/paper sizes, as well as dynamic resizing & scaling is incredibly hard or impossible when you've baked a fixed idea of presentation into your content, see: Latex, PDFs & old school HTML with complex tables for layout, for examples.

How would that work when you need to switch stuff like `display` responsively?

Care to share an example of what you mean? Because I don't understand how that would look honestly.

See any grid component in a library for React for example.
