Padding should not be reserved for the Auto-Layout

It’s kind of limiting that Figma only lets you add padding to auto-layout frames. This setup often means we’re using auto-layout just to add padding, even when it’s not really needed to be an auto-layout. Which sprouts out a few additional layout issues in the process. In CSS, you can add padding to pretty much anything, like individual text elements, which keeps things more straightforward. Would be amazing if Figma allowed padding on more than just auto-layouts to make designs more flexible and keep the setup simpler. Any chance we might see this added?
