I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I know what you're getting at. But pure CSS to me means using the elements that are already there, and no more.
If you're allowing adding HTML, then you may as well say, "Let's have 1920x1080 DIVs and give them all unique IDs", because then "Pure CSS" will let you do full HD video, and it all becomes meaningless.
To me, pure CSS is what you could apply to an existing page without having to ask the authors to change their markup.

I’ve always thought developers meant “no JavaScript” when they say pure CSS/ HTML.
Semantics aside, I’d say this is pretty impressive right?
Nobody says that though, they say "Pure CSS". It's kind of a trend.
Yes, it looks really good!
