That makes recipe scaling easier without switching between inconsistent cup charts. The page stays anchored to the US cup standard (236.588 mL). Light Brown Sugar can vary a lot with moisture and how firmly it is packed into the cup, so the page keeps one explicit basis instead of mixing loose and packed outcomes.
