So if you really wanted to mix by weight (and I'm not sure why you would)

Exactly...
The pumps were part of the reason that epoxy got popular once WEST started marketing to boatbuilders and woodworkers.

When I'm in the middle of 'something', the last thing I want to do is start trying to pour epoxy out of a gallon jug into a mixing cup, watching the weight on the digital scale. And, then if I 'overshoot', recalculate the hardener amount.....
'A shot of resin, a shot of hardener' from the pumps is a lot faster and more accurate for me.

If I bought epoxy from a company that didn't provide pumps, I'd use pumps from another source and modify them if necessary to fit the container lids.
