This may feel true if you've re-engaged with CSS's progression in the last ~5–7 years. In reality, the last big qualitative leap was Grid in 2017.

This project is based on just one new proposed rule which won't be available in all mainstream browsers until 2027-28, and won't be safe for production use until close to the end of the decade.

In reality, CSS's big changes are a drumbeat pounding monthly: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/css-wrapped-2023 https://chrome.dev/css-wrapped-2024/

Of note from 2023: subgrids, :has, container queries, nesting... And in 2022, cascade layers (plus <style scoped>, I mean @scope, I mean :scope).
