This makes absolutely no sense. Front ends that include JavaScript still use css.

Maybe, but they don't need to. You could write an HTML styling engine in JS if you wanted to.
Mid 90s HTML pre CSS:
Problem: Oppenheimer, unlike JavaScript, was actually competent.
If you've seen the Barbie movie, there's a scene where America Ferrera rants about the paradoxes in the expectations on women. The whole "be strong but not pushy" thing.
That's CSS.
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".
JS bad, please clap
