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?

I see your point!
I go entirely by feel most of the time and only use cup/spoon measurements as a first step when I’m making batters or cookie or pizza doughs before adjusting based on how the dough is turning out. At that point it’s less of a measurement tool and more of a scooping tool to me.
