I hate this scale, it says low battery and shuts off after just 3 months of sitting in the drawer. It infuriates me that there's still a lot of energy in the battery, I can use that in remote controls with no issues

If there's enough battery to say "low battery", then there's enough battery to show the measurements!

Look up piezolectric materials if you wanna know more

The GP is not describing a piezoelectric scale. And you won't be able to find any piezoelectric scale that is anything similar to "cheap".

Well which principle do the cheap ones operate on?

It's actually a plastic ribbon with a metallic foil in a zigzag pattern on top of it. It's extremely cheap and does a pretty good job. It usually sits on top of a metal bar that can deflect a tiny little bit.

You can read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_gauge

The main effect is that the resistance depends on the geometry. So as that changes, the resistance changes as well.
