I don’t know. Every ingredient can be adjusted to your personal taste, the point of quantities is to have a meaningful starting point. I’d rather read a 1/4 teaspoon than a pinch. Besides, a pinch is pretty hard to reproduce with any consistency.

(Also why not add ~~a pinch~~ a 1/4 teaspoon of punctuation to your prose my bro? My head is out of breath. )

I hate punctuation and I'd guess the thinking is the recipe author doesn't even know them self what they used and also it's like a permission thing again could be clearer by saying to taste but maybe the thinking is if they say a ¼ tsp people will add exactly that and be rigid where as you say a shake of it and they'll decide for themselves how much they want
