can you explain what are the differences between the scale property and the width/height property?

Two questions:

Why bother using the canvas in a single-screen 2D game rather than just making the UI part of the game screen / world? The camera alone will scale the game using a scale-matching-height, right?

And specifically, in a 2D game, what’s gained by using the canvas rendering in world space?
