At the risk of getting flamed - I wonder if because CSS is a design tool not a programming tool, it will seem unintuitive to people from a technical background, but more intuitive to people from a design/arts background
When we had “backend” people at my shop, they were god awful at css. It was so bad at one point that I scolded any backend person who touched css because they always fucked shit up if they did.
I think you’re right. CSS was more understandable to me after reading that it came from the world of print media. It’s how things were laid out there and it was transformed into a language from those with domain knowledge.
But I would be curious if those who studied art also use the same terminology. If so, then it would make sense that it would seem more intuitive to them.

I fuck up CSS on purpose whenever possible to reduce the likelihood of anyone letting me near it.
Maybe you used to work with me? haha
