Styled components are nice but they need more adoption to become mainstream. For example let's say I want to buy an HTML template (because I'm bored to build my own theme from scratch). Almost all the times they are using some sort of preprocessors like SCSS or Less.

I wouldn't say that it isn't mainstream at all, it's a huge library - but I totally agree, it can be harder to implement styled-components as effectively in parallel with things like SCSS and Less which can make it harder to adopt - although you being bored enough to buy a template that doesn't work perfectly with your stack shouldn't be a good pointer of how successful a library is either 😝
