Bootstrap and Sass are for the web. They don't solve the interop problem for Figma/Sketch/Framer/iOS/macOS/Windows/Android/TVs/Watches/Fridges/Cars and what have you. And that's not even accounting for web styling solutions that don't use CSS variables.

Cool, so we establish that the likes of Bootstrap and Sass already solve this problem for the web. > They don't solve the interop problem for Figma/Sketch/Framer That's irrelevant, isn't it? I mean, do you run apps straight out of Sigma/Sketch/Framer? Do you also think it's reasonable to call out Photoshop/Gimp/MSPaint? > iOS/macOS/Windows/Android/TVs/Watches/Fridges/Cars You're trying to refer to platforms/OSes, aren't you? Do you think it makes any sense to bundle everything together? Those who work on iOS/macOS/Windows/Android/TVs/Watches/Fridges/Cars would certainly look at you perplexed just for suggesting that specifying color schemes even registers as a concern in the whole cross-platform discussion. >

  > Bootstrap and Sass already solve this problem for the web. In a vacuum, sure. But products aren't all built in a web-centric vacuum. > That's irrelevant, isn't it? I mean, do you run apps straight out of Sigma/Sketch/Framer? Do you also think it's reasonable to call out Photoshop/Gimp/MSPaint? Figma/Sketch/Framer are design and prototyping tools. They are _very_ relevant in how we build products. The back-and-forth between design and engineering leads to better outcomes if both sides speak the same language, and their tools allow them to do so. (Photoshop/Gimp/MSPaint aren't so relevant un product design) > Do you think it makes any sense to bundle everything together? Not everything. You generally want folks using your products across iOS, their car, their TV, and a web browser have a coherent experience. This doesn't mean that everything needs to look exactly the same. It means that key design decisions can be distributed across the board.
