I’m not just talking about home cooking. It’s just one thing. I’m talking about life in general. We Americans have a tendency to do these weird things based purely on tradition when there are more precise and logical solutions available. But no, no: “We’re unique and exceptional. We do it the American way.” Ridiculous.

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.

Well, I’m specifically talking about measurements in home cooking. But you have fun with that.

Like I said, it goes for home cooking as well.
