Comment (by sabernhardt):

 The paragraph font size ruleset was added to override `16px` in WordPress
 5.0 and 5.1 but is unnecessary now.
 1. To continue supporting old versions, the `font-size` could be changed
 to `inherit`. It could even check the body classes with
 `:where(.branch-5-0, .branch-5-1) .editor-styles-wrapper p` if it should
 target only those versions. The two add up to only 1.02% of all
 [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/ recorded WordPress sites], but the
 chances of those sites using Twenty Nineteen would be higher than with
 other WordPress versions.
 2. In WordPress 6.6, deleting the `font-size` ruleset would make the
 default paragraphs the same `22px` size (taken from `body` in the iframe
 editor and Classic Editor, or from `.editor-styles-wrapper` in the non-
 framed editor). Both #61429 and #61474 have patches that proposed deleting
 the rule.
