Is this some highly sophisticated programmer humor that I'm too tech-illiterate to understand?

CSS is used to create the design, basically the look (colors, layout and so on), but no substance.
JavaScript is used to implement code and logic.

HTML + JavaScript would typically (since you're supposed to use CSS to create colors and design) look very dull, thus the black-and-white Oppenheimer.

document.querySelector('.whatever').style.color = "red";

Don't recommend, though.

Sure, but setting the .style attribute could really be argued as using CSS, just with a different interface. W3Schools refers to this as "inline CSS".
