Well, now that you mention points, maybe there's an extra reason I
didn't consider that makes a case for a 72 dpi default: Postscript
typographic points are 1/72th of an inch. Or 72 dpi.

72 dpi is legacy as a screen resolution, but maybe the reason for
keeping it as a fallback has something to do with typographic points.
Maybe because we're used to se a 12 pt type as 12 px on screens?
