If a model has 10 frame sizes, then weigh em as stock builds. List the weight of each in the geometry table on the website next to all the other detailed information about the bike that is already listed. It would be quite easy, actually.
Or at the very least, list the weight of 1 bike and the corresponding bike size so there is a basis to then guess. This is a minimum and hardly difficult to do as a company.
I totally get that components may change thru the year due to availability or cost to the company, and those changes may affect the weight. So just like there is a well known disclaimer on websites that state bike spec is subject to change, have that apply to weight also.
I would guess that weight isnt listed by all major brands for all sizes because there is very little upside for the brand. If the weight is listed, it can be compared to other brands with similarly priced or spec'd bikes.
It wont happen, but not because its impossible.
I with you, publish a weight for each size even make a statement that things could change a bit but it would give the consumer something to go by anyway
