Why rolled oats needs its own conversion
Rolled Oats weighs about 89g per cup — quite light and airy compared to many kitchen staples. King Arthur old-fashioned/quick oats = 89 g/cup (widely cited as ~90 g). King Arthur brand rolled oats = 113 g; quick oats ~93 g. A cup is a unit of volume, so ingredients this different in density can't share one generic conversion factor — using a single "1 cup = X g" rule for everything will be wrong for at least some of what you cook.
