If I DO want the PC to depressurise quickly, I take it off the heat

I use a fork or put the pressure cooker in the sink and run cold water
over it.

My doesn't have weights, but it does have a quick-release setting.

Our current pressure cooker is a Fagor bought in Lidl. It doesn't have
weights either. For decades we used a Prestige, which does use
weights.

Mine is also a Fagor, bought in Costco.
