No, it is not easier to use a cup to scoop. You are very unlikely to be able to consistently get the same amount. Instead you get variable amounts based on how much you packed it, the humidity, and the grind of the flour.

For liquids you don't have precise control over the flow rate so it isn't easier to do over the scale. Although depending on the circumstances it is because you don't have to worry about spillage.
