I believe you are wrong. There are valid reasons for adding inline
styles.
For instance, when creating a plugin or widget for a CMS or other
managed site, often the CSS and/or the HTML cannot be modified.

Not necessarily. Many plugins, let's say a shortcode plugin for
Wordpress or similar, inserts html into a post's content area. I've
had to do this on a few occasions. For instance, I had a specific pull-
quote shortcode style that made use of blockquotes and cites. The
content div had something like this declared:
#content blockquote{margin:1em;padding:1em;background-color:#eeeeff;}
In this case, everything about that declaration needed to be changed.
No matter how hard you try, unless you have access to the main CSS,
you cannot over-ride that style block with classes only. And since
this widget will be used in sites where the main content div's id
cannot be predetermined, the only way to guarantee that the styles you
need to make it use inlines.
That is, unless I am completely wrong, in which case I would love to
hear an alternate solution.
