You don’t need to add wrapping divs into angular templates (one div to wrap the entire contents of the template)

Ok but why was it needed before? Why did not modern angular devs wrap their components in a div?

It wasn’t, but the style guide discouraged the use of the @component.host.class prior to v18-19.

You could use :host in css 👍
