Really? That's it? A technology can only be used for what it was originally
intended to be used for?

Okay. Better shut down the web then. The internet wasn't originally intended

CSS is great as a styling rules system. As a layout system, it doesn't work.
But then, CSS was never originally intended for layout anyway, was it?
