These are useful for relative human portions. It's practical, not scientific. Exact measurements aren't necessary for general purpose cooking. That's the point.

That exactly does complicate things. You don't need to be that precise. You son't need a scale especially when most things can be approximated with whatever container is handy and eyeballing it.
you don't need to be that precise
