Please, please add this feature! Setting % width on a child div is commonly used in front-end web development and will cut down time spent translating between designing in Figma and actual dev. In short it’ll make Figma very intuitive to use for any front-end developer.

Figma does not use CSS for rendering, just their own emulation of it. Therefore every single CSS feature we want to have represented in Figma needs to be recreated from scratch. Thus why some features also don’t behave the same way as CSS despite being similar.
We need a design tool built on actual web rendering. Figma is never going to be 1:1 with what CSS is capable of, and therefore will always be holding us back or adding friction to dev handoff.

Earth to @Figma_Product… are you there? Can we please get a response, or would you rather have lots of dissatisfied users?

I suggest just directly adding CSS Grid support similar to PenPot’s approach. Using CSS Grid or a combination of CSS Grid and Flex is a better layout approach in many scenarion and should be supported in Figma.
