Just reading up on CSS and found out that a pixel is not a pixel because it is set to a specific size in the browser. So this setting is a browser setting so that when you define a page in pixels (as we all seem to do) it renders 'consistently' across multiple different resolutions. So the whole thing is not as simple as it sounds.

- For simplicity without writing install scripts. - For easy starting and stopping form the command line. - For very easy logic to create a service, add all the configuration in one place. (name, restart, user configuration). - For easy debugging as a console application. - For easy integration to Dependency Injection. - For easy trapping of fatal errors in your service with a simple try catch around the top shelf process. It is definitely the easiest way to write services that I know of.
