It would make even more sense to set a minimum weight without tyres and measure the cars without those at all times.
Not really, because it's hard to move a car without tires, and you generally don't want an F1 car sit on the floor, so you'd have to have movers under the car, which would the also factor into the weight. And in addition, they sometimes weigh cars during non-race sessions (including qualifying) with tires fitted.
A baseline tire is really the best approach for weighing after a full racing session.
A calibrated set should def be used for weights.
Why? They simply gambled too low. Every one gambles on this.
If you want to remove any gamble, you need to strip every car after each race, clean off all dirt, dry it, replace the floor and put it on new wheels. Also the question is if the driver just sweats, pees or bleeds into the car...what to do with this? How to accommodate the weight loss? Sorry, this is all nonsense. They have a minimum weight with which they need to enter the pits after the race...and if they are too low, they are too low.
