I had a girlfriend that was utterly convinced that bottled water was healthier for you. Although when pushed she couldn't provide a reason.
Some people do seem to buy into the idea that bottled water is all collected from some kind of secret magical spring of eternal youth. When really it all comes out of a tap in the factory.
in many places even in the us, the tap water is not drinkable. Even if it's technically safe, it might smell bad or taste funky. If you grow up in an area with bad tap water, you might not trust any tap water even after moving to a different area. In context, insisting on bottled water for drinking makes sense.
Mmm... Microplastics
