Ashley Sheridan, I find your angle about saying that hmtl/css/js to be separated is fairly incomplete. If you think about everything that exists in any decent piece of software, then everything is a tree of components (or views, or divs or whatever you call them) and these things will have some associated styling perhaps, some logic perhaps etc)
It makes most sense for these things, if they exist in one place, to be defined in the component. What you then want is a mechanism for moving styling or logic to a more global place, if it makes sense to. But lots of the time, it makes sense to have it next to the place that it's needed.
Separating for the sake of it is like just introducing a service orientated architecture or micro services, just because.
Also, it's like organising by technology, rather than by feature, which I think makes a lot more sense. A big folder of all controllers or views (as many frameworks organise) doesn't really make sense to me, once you've done a lot of organising by feature.
Ashley, this talk clarifies Vasyl's points. They specifically address separation of concerns, clarifying that even CSS garden isn't separated as you believe. Because although the html has no awareness of the css, the css is fully aware of the html. Should the html change, the css breaks.
I started listening to the talk as a skeptic, and it really cleared things up for me.
