One way to address this is with good contrib themes for Backdrop CMS.

I need help understanding the implications of this for Backdrop Core. Can you provide some specific examples of the kind of work that you are recommending?

I looked for SASS in other core issues and only found a brief discussion of requiring SASS for core in this discussion - https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/1775. At the time, there was clear opposition to requiring SASS for core development. But, I think there is plenty of room for it in contrib themes. I hope to help with that at some point.

I have seen BEM being mentioned a few times in different issues before, and I remember taking a look at the specification at some point, but it is above my skills/interest at the moment.

Perhaps others like @jenlampton and @wesruv can chime in.
