Uh, that would be deceiving marketing, a 1kg spool should contain 1kg of filament…
But hey, maybe my view on this is a bit warped because I only buy filament from reputable brands (and usually from their own store) and not from marketplaces like “big A” where hundreds of sellers battle to be the cheapest.

It’s not a “reputable” thing … it’s a process thing. Scales don’t get zeroed every time a fresh spool is loaded. Doing so adds complexity.
It’s pretty common for consumer goods to include the mass of packaging when the product is sold by mass across most industries.
