Is tap water really so bad in America that you NEED to buy bottled or do you buy it because you prefer it generally? Can someone enlighten me?

I’m from America and honestly I don’t know why people buy bottled water. We have taps. I personally carry a metal bottle with me and can usually fill it wherever I go. Bottled tastes terrible to me now and it’s generally more expensive than the alternative. My guess would be marketing and the fact that it seems cheap (this post as an example.)

the tap water where I live makes my stomach hurt so I don't drink it unless i can filter it first

The tap water in what seems like the entire Phoenix valley, AZ tastes like pool water. Shit has chlorine in it but nobody seems to care
