Here is what you overlooked. It also says that it gives mass of water > per unit of mass. per unit mass of what? It's supposed to be mass of water per kg of air, but there's no air in there. So, what specifically do you think that g/kg means in the context of a 2-phase mixture of steam and water? What do you use for the denominator to calculate the total mass of the steam? If it means the mass of water vapor per unit mass of water vapor, then it should be 1000 g / kg. How do you use that? If it means the mass of water vapor per unit mass of total fluid, how could a device that measures humidity (i.e. wetness of air) determine that? You are not making sense.
