    not all cups are the same so why would anyone say “this is now the exact amount of a cup”?

      The amount measured by a typical tea or coffee cup is approximately 1/2 US Pint, so when it comes time to codify it that’s a reasonable place to put it.

      Anything else you wish to artificially complicate?
