The total ground water withdrawal in Michigan [mainly for agricultural use] is 98,000 Million gallons [1]. Why is Nestle extracting 100 Million a problem?

You're comparing the usage of an entire state to the demands placed on a single aquifer.
I agree. However that is not a price issue. Further the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality site specific review said it was okay.

I am genuinely confused why people think this is an issue.
