What limits React inline styles and when are they still appropriate?
This tests React styling trade-offs. Outline: no pseudo-classes, media queries, or keyframes; maintenance and perf costs; good for dynamic state styling, prototyping, FOUC prevention, and small components. Red flag: claiming they are always bad or free.
WHAT IT TESTS: Whether you understand the boundary between JavaScript convenience and CSS feature parity in React. ANSWER OUTLINE: Identify missing capabilities like pseudo-classes, media queries, and keyframe animations; explain maintenance and performance penalties as applications scale; then justify legitimate use cases including dynamic state-driven styles, rapid prototyping, preventing FOUC on critical render paths, and isolated small components.
