CSS pixels are good for layout, not just sizes and positions, because a pixel (in a browser) now represents an apparent size. That is, if the user has a large device far from their face, or a small device close to their face, a pixel represents a similar portion of their vision. If they want things larger, they can adjust the scaling so a pixel represents a larger apparent size, or the reverse.

This is never true in practice though and what you describe is just about sizes and position, you can't change the layout with CSS pixels - you need resolution media queries for that.
