Used a couple of US recipes recently and most of the ingredients are in cups, or spoons, not by weight. This is a nightmare to convert. Do Americans not own scales or something? What’s the reason for measuring everything by volume?

How do you convert cups to weight accurately when a cup of one thing might weigh more than a cup of a different thing?
Thankfully the density of most foods is known
Is there a separate conversion chart for every food out there? Seems confusing.
Why a chart? Just throw the stuff you wanna know in wolfram alpha, it’ll figure out the units for you
I just yell “okay Google how much does a cup of peanut butter weigh” if Google doesn’t get me a good answer usually my husband will run in yelling the conversions he googled so I will stop yelling at the spy-assistant bot. I have encountered few ingredients that I couldn’t find a weight conversion for.
Measure it out the hard way once and note the weight. I do that every time I have a recipe using cups just to make my life easier. Once the recipe is properly noted, I can just put a bowl on the scale and hit the tare button after each step.
