ahh a lot of assumptions here.
Which looks like a filter bubble to me.

For example yes Tailwind is popular.
Does it replace every other CSS framework? No, not at all.
If you look at websites running then probably bootstrap is still king.

CSS can do a lot of things in a modern browser where you don't need to use a preprocessor.
and what does that preprocessor output in the end? CSS right :D

Oh yeah, the inline CSS argument. This will die earlier when CSS itself.

If you just pick a theme and a framework then yeah you never have to touch CSS.
But if you just work at a bigger project with more custom elements then you have to understand the framework and how to extend that CSS correctly ;)

Just because in tutorials and youtube and twitter talk a lot about things it does not mean that it reflects the reality in software projects.

So yeah to anyone who made it that far:
Learn CSS
Learn Javascript
In general, learn the basics if you want to become good.
If you just learn the frameworks then you are outdated in the next 3 to 4 years.
