It happened a lot in our nation's history that folks would have relatively simple kitchens not equipped with scales or even a set of measuring cups

That's, like, every nation's history. Cooking has never required that much precision, especially home cooking. Even baking can be done by feel, with enough experience.

Learning to use recipes and then learning you don't need them are the two most important parts of learning how to cook imo. The first time I make something I use a recipe every time after that I do not and just go by feel/vibes unless I am trying to make something authentic.
