Depends on where exactly you live.

Much of the US cities have great tap water. Some places (Flint) get lead going on.

However, much of the water in the US by area is well water. Well water tastes gross, and has some dubious health effects if not filtered right. Bottled water seems reasonable for those people.

Just because bottled water is not useful for you, does not mean it's not useful for anyone.

I never said it wasn't useful. Obviously there are people who need it. I just won't pay for it when I already do by paying for house water. Our tap water is clean here in Texas.
