Plastic is not a signle use. You can it re-use it the same way. It lasts forever, remember?

It's about micro plastics leeching into the water. Reusing plastic means more and more of the micro plastics end up in the water.

And besides, there's no infrastructure for me to get distilled water outside of buying a new plastic jug.

Is this really that difficult to understand?

Micro plastics don't do crap. CO2 emissions on the other hand...
