In the recents Rails releases they introduced a new pipeline via webpacker and some teams moved not only the js to webpack, but also their css too. Other people are using the Rails API mode, which doesn't include the sprockets railtie neither.
In summary, relying on the original "assets pipeline" and sass is harder nowadays, so would be nice to move our css out of sprockets and sass, and use just plain css3. Also, apps with node-sass or postcss (via webpacker) wont need to install sassc-rails (which contains native deps too).
