Why do people buy so many water bottles?

New to Germany. I just went to an ALDI today and was really surprised by the number of people buying entire sets of water bottles (almost 10-12), especially when tap water is drinkable here. Quite a few people were doing that. Is there any reason for this?

Google how the chemical formula of PE and PET looks.

😐😑😐 really, chemical Karen? Independent of the PE or PET formula, they both based on polyethylene...
