That seems like a very weak reason. High DPI screens are common now, as is SVG. And slightly blurry pixels is hardly the end of the world is it?

If that's the only problem I'll stick with px.



Low-DPI screens (e.g. Full-HD) are common on desktop systems and laptops, and will remain so for the foreseeable future, due to their lower cost, and due to native applications that aren’t designed for hi-DPI. Pixel-based icons look better on those than vector icons. “Slightly blurry” is the bane of modern visual UI design.
