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?

Look, it’s like this…
Method 1: you get a bowl and put it on the scale. You then dump everything into it or you get a new bowl for each ingredient if you need to keep them separate.
Method 2: you get a bowl and a cup. You measure into the cup and dump the stuff in the bowl then wash the cup and then you measure the next thing then you wash again and so on.
Sometimes washing isn’t needed, sure. But you still put stuff in the cup then move it rather than putting it directly in the bowl.
With spoons it’s even worse because for spices, for example, many of them (at least here) come like this so spoons don’t fit…so good luck pouring out of it and into a spoon and not making a mess
