It's not always because of being designed to be pixel-precise. 
"Responsive design" and "mobile-first" are very deliberately NOT 
pixel-precise, but most of them look like shit on the desktop (at least 
until you zoom out about ten times). That's because with such sites, 
desktop often ends up getting treated as if it were a high-DPI 5"-6" screen.

The new "vw" font size units are going to lead to even more disaster in 
that regard.
