Why is cornstarch published per quarter cup?
Because that is nearer the amount a recipe asks for. King Arthur lists cornstarch at 28 g per quarter cup; four of those make the 112 g per cup that dishscale converts from. The arithmetic is exact, so a quarter cup still reads 28 g when you convert back.
