Yamaguchi didn't start fighting at atomweight until a couple years ago. She was fighting at strawweight the entire time before that (and she was more muscular at strawweight than she is now.) And any time Angela or Mei clinched or grappled in their fight, it was clear they were about the same size. Angela was taller, but Mei had a lot more muscle and it more than evened itself out.
Also, if they were allowed to dehydrate and a person made 115 pounds [in Angela's case, it was just under 114] without dehydrating, would you say they're a strawweight or would you say, "What're they doing, they shouldn't be fighting giants who're dehydrating dozens of pounds to make 115 like Joanna or Gadelha or Jarred Brooks. They should drop down to atomweight already."
