There are numerous bug reports regarding media manager in the front end and I have been able to track them down.
They are caused because of the use of atum variables which of course are not actually ever going to be available.
media manager scss should be template independent.
If it is necessary to add template specific scss for the media manager then that should be in its own scss that lives in the templates own folder and not in com_media

media manager scss should be template independent.
If Joomla had a design system with known default css vars, then the media manager css would work fine with any template (that complies to the design system and that should have been the minimum compatibility requirement). The proposal was rejected a few years ago as the backend people decided that Bootstrap was the perfect design system for Joomla. Now the only viable solutions are, as you stated:
- make the com_media independent of the template (different colours, etc)
- require every front end template to roll their own com_media css
WIN.
for reference its not just colours it is all use of variables
Situation:
- use frontend
- Menu is located in the right sidebar,
- Editor is tinymce,
- Edit an article
- Drag the bottom/right corner ofcontent-area to the right, so overlapping the menu area
Result:
the background of the area will show the menu overlapping with the content
Question: Is this an effect, that has to do with this issue - or is it a separate issue?

Closing this here. Left my thoughts as a comment on the PR
just to be clear without fixing this media manager is between useless and ugly on every frontend template
