Doesn't MUI offer unstyled components in the form of Base UI? Why would you use Radix UI over Base UI?

[@frontstartdev]

It’s incomplete and a lot of often used components are still in work

[@starrynight72]

But it seems not have the responsive design out of the box. If it add it in it, it would be pretty handy.

[@Isaac-eh6uu]

Wdym responsive design? Isn't the whole point of unstyled components for the components to have no style? Is there something I'm missing?
