Argues that making styles local with CSS Modules and using native CSS Variables lets components be truly reusable by inheriting context not by being overridden; demos build contextual cards and buttons driven by variables (currentColor, flexbox/grid layout, the lobotomized owl selector) and they work in modern browsers where variables are in a majority. Recommends separating layout from UI, documenting variable hooks, and providing an override escape hatch.
