"is a angry nerd argument with no point."

Not sure where you got the angry or nerd concept from. It doesn't really matter if people like it or not. The portable infoboxes use a standard XML markup, it is like using the Hindi script and claiming that the proper use is an "angry grammar nazi argument".

"I already noted that div style tags don't seem to work either, and that isn't a out of date form of HTML last I checked."

Adding html tags (including the style) works within the or tags. That's a bad hack that wikia probably doesn't want, so they may sanitize the markup in the future. Anyway, while it is possible to embed css style directly for now at least wikia has decided that all styling has to go to the in the Special:Css.
