The `details-utils` component enhances the behavior of the built-in HTML `detail` component. If for any reason you have JavaScript disabled, then using a web component like this would be just fine because the `detail` component would continue to behave like it always does. If you have JS enabled (or it's finished downloading) then you have an enhanced version of it that has features like collapsing when you click outside of it, etc. That's the part that's reusable when used like this.
That web component from the creator of 11ty is what made the point made in the article click for me. When I first started looking at web components I was like, "this still requires JavaScript and doesn't work without it," and that was the same point Rich Harris made in this article: https://dev.to/richharris/why-i-don-t-use-web-components-2ci...
