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?

We don’t … literally use random cups lmao.

I think that is the historical reason for cups. I saw another commenter post that a measuring cup is approximately the volume of a teacup, and those do tend to be about the same size.
