You’re maybe plenty accurate for the brownies of your preference, but probably not for professional cooking or other activities that require accuracy.

The vast majority of the planet are not professional cooks.

Not the point.

Absolutely the point. Precision is not needed in the vast majority of cooking. It’s a pointless, time-consuming step.
Volumetric measurement is superior. Yes, I’d rather it be liters instead of cups, but cups is better than grams.
