Some people still don't get shadowDOM. The main reason shadowDOM exists is on the other side of the boundary!! For many moons now all complex tags like <video> are created with Web Components technology. Not (only) to keep us mortal developers OUT, but (mainly) to keep styles IN #webcomponents

Neat perspective. Always thought external styling was the bigger headache.

Yes, for people wanting to style Web Components. But if you ask them: you can use a 3rd party Web Component, but it might ruin the rest of your webpage. Are you fine wth that? They all say: NO!
