How many cups is 1 cup of lentils (dry)?

Why isn't lentils (dry) the same weight as flour or sugar?
Every ingredient has its own density: how tightly it packs into a measuring cup. Powdery, airy ingredients weigh less per cup than dense liquids or packed sugars, so each ingredient needs its own gram value.
Does this account for sifting or packing?
