Imagine if you were to zoom in on the text. For example, with firefox you can zoom in and out on the page with ctl + and ctl -. Go to

and scroll down to the body text and use ctl + and notice that the indentation stays the same relative to the text size, about the width of 2 letters. Using percent the indentation would get smaller as you zoom in. Which to me, at least, would be weird.
