Late, but I wanted to share that there is a ponyfill for CSS variables that allow them to work in older browsers, with a few caveats. They serve a different function than SASS variables do, so it's definitely worth looking at the ponyfill if you'd like to start using CSS variables & need to support older browsers.
I just used these for my portfolio. Love em. But, I don't think IE11 has them. I think that's why SASS is still so widely used. That and nesting.

Or this (my) polyfill which gives IE11 almost complete support for CSS variables:
