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?

Are you measuring cornstarch?
Maybe I just have weird cornstarch but anytime I try to actively scoop out of it, it’s like trying to scoop baking powder.
I use it frequently in coatings for Japanese deep fried foods, usually mixed with flour and salt in particular ratios.
I usually just eyeball stuff like that
