Body text is the key component in communicating the main bulk of a message or story, and it’s probably the most important element on a website, even if people sometimes read just the headlines. Why would we limit the effectiveness of body text by minimizing its size to a browser-default that’s now over 20 years old, even on large displays?

The majority of websites are still anywhere in the range of 15–18px.

They are also really easy to understand. Vw - viewport width,vh - viewport height,vmin - height or width, whichever is smaller,vmax - height or width, whichever is larger So the reason viewport units are not used more extensively is probably not due to a lack of browser support or developers’ understanding.
