Commercial recipes in the US are pretty commonly by weight. You wouldn't want for example to vary your recipe for pasta sauce by half a pound of onions from batch to batch because of the varying sizes of onions.
Am not a professional cook (far from it), but borrowed a couple of cookbooks from someone who was to learn a little about how professional cooks work and approach their trade.

A commercial sized recipe calling for 10lb or flour or 2lb of chopped onions would be highly inconvenient to measure by cups, even if you did have the necessary set of cups in big sizes (10 cups, 50 cups, etc). Much easier to measure large amounts by weight.
