Nope. Some developpers/CS people are used to think in fixed pixel size
terms and assume everyone else thinks like them.

Any office worker (the number of which dwarfs CS people) will think in
pt not px terms because that's what office suites and printers use.

And the other categories actively do not care and want things to just
work.

This is true when a screen has a dpi slightly different from 96. At
120dpi the pixel density increase is enough forcing 96dpi is actively
counter-productive on the rendering quality front.
