Oh is it literally just css selectors, but with a slightly different syntax? Fuck me, I never looked into it and assumed it was nonsense.
The extra syntax is just to add some features that aren't in CSS. Not quite sure where this came from, I think it's from the Adblock Plus era, but Gorhill perfected it for uBlock origin, which makes it a very powerful tool.
It's not limited to just hiding the elements either, if you want you can simply restyle them (I've used this to redact sports results until I hovered over them).
