A standard 1/4 lb. stick of butter is 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup. Honest, it says so right on the stick.

The person probably didn't have a stick. They probably had a tub and the directions call for a stick, hence the question. How many cups are in a stick of butter.

Butter is not sold in 'sticks' anywhere in the world but the USA. Hence the confusion. 'Stick" is not a standard unit of measure, but a convenience for the manufacturer. Butter is more commonly sold in 454g bricks (1 lb), which is equivalent to 2 cups.
