I’m not sure it’s about respect. I’d say it’s firstly more about competence. Does a developer have the necessary knowledge and skill to produce CSS firstly that works, and then is as efficient as they can make it with their level of experience and understanding?
If they are competent, then the question becomes that of a given individual’s desire to produce CSS to the best of their ability or if they want to cut corners or not be concerned with optimisation.
Working on your own projects this is probably not as big of a deal as if you’re part of a team, and others have to work with your code.
Having said that ‘correctly’ and ‘responsibly’ are pretty subjective. The flexibility of CSS makes it so that you can achieve the same result in multiple ways and it might not necessarily be clear which is the ‘best’. In that case it becomes about agreeing on a convention that makes the most sense for your team/project.
I always find everyone has their own style and idiosyncrasies with CSS.
