So, why would you prefer this to CSS variables?

CSS Variables for one aren't supported in IE11 : caniuse.com/#feat=css-variables

So for enterprise development you need a ponyfill to support this.

Otherwise, you could certainly set up your theme.css to have a set of CSS Variables you reuse in the rest of your CSS files, then dynamically change between light-theme or dark-theme or other custom themes with JS
