My understanding is that, historically, the OS provided a function to query DPI but what gets returned from such function was not always accurate (or always not accurate depending on who you ask). So, the workaround at the time was to assume that DPI is always 96 (and hard-code that value) regardless of what the OS told you, which worked just fine because the monitors used back in the day had the same screen resolution. I'm not sure if that's a non-issue today. I don't know enough about this topic to tell you that with confidence.
