'Why was the CSS function clamp written into an Sass unquote function?

In a project I took over, the style was written with SCSS. At one point I wonder why the CSS clamp() function was written with an unquote. If I remove unquote there is no difference.

div {
  font-size:unquote("clamp(30px, 10px + 2%, 30px)");
}

And without unquote

div {
  font-size:clamp(30px, 10px + 2%, 30px);
}

Question:

Why did you put the clamp function into an unquote function again? If it works without!

csssass


Solution 1:[1]

The unquote function was probably used because the text in the function came from a string from an other program or service, so to make sure it will work as CSS they added that during the transfer to CSS.
