Comment:

 @mhmdshv thanks for the reporting and welcome to WordPress core!

 It is currently possible to apply a filter to change the unit type using
 the `widget_tag_cloud_args` filter ( see the source below )
 {{{
 /**
  * Filters the taxonomy used in the Tag Cloud widget.
  *
  * @since 2.8.0
  * @since 3.0.0 Added taxonomy drop-down.
  * @since 4.9.0 Added the `$instance` parameter.
  *
  * @see wp_tag_cloud()
  *
  * @param array $args     Args used for the tag cloud widget.
  * @param array $instance Array of settings for the current widget.
  */

 $tag_cloud = wp_tag_cloud( apply_filters( 'widget_tag_cloud_args', array(
     'taxonomy'   => $current_taxonomy,
     'echo'       => false,
     'show_count' => $show_count,
 ), $instance ) );

 }}}

 You may be able to achieve what you're looking for by adding the filter
 above and setting `unit` as empty and then filtering the `font_size` to be
 `unset` using the `wp_generate_tag_cloud_data` filter.

 I'm going to close this out as a `maybelater` but @westonruter if you feel
 different, feel free to reopen.
