I don't see any reason as to why height is not a good idea to use. I've never heard that using height is bad, but if you want to make a perfect circle, you can set the width property to your desired value, use border-radius for the roundness and then add a property called aspect-ratio: 1 / 1. This ensures that the aspect ratio between the height and the width remains as 1 / 1, therefore making it a square / circle. But again, I don't see why you wouldn't want to use the height property instead.

Setting height restricts the space for the content of the box, they can't get more than already given to them or they will overflow, there is no need to use height, your browser will give your element enough height based on much the content need.
If you set height then you have to use @media query any time the content overflow and I don't know why you would want that, the website is responsive by default and setting any unnecessary style will remove some of its responsiveness, by setting explicit height you are removing the automatic responsiveness of the website and you have to do it manually yourself.
There are a lot of courses and tutorials out there that teach the syntax and concepts to beginners but they don't teach good pracitcies, sometimes they over-complicate things.

But in rare cases like making perfect circle you don't have to worry about overflowing content or making it responsive, in those cases it is ok to use height or use aspect-ratio: 1/1.
