I don't get the point. If your media queries are in pixels because the screen has pixels and the designs were made in pixels, what's the point of converting? Browsers can zoom, desktops have system-wide magnification settings. Is it still relevant in 2020?
It is. Browsers have the option to set a default font size (without having to increase the page zoom). Out of the box it is 16px in most browsers, but users can override it to any value. If developers code with px values, the user-set value does not apply and the user experience is impacted.

Exactly and some mobile devices/screen readers choose to show a bigger font by default, hence where our pixels would not be relevant.
