Beyond that... I've observed a move to larger single bottles (typically of a premium brand) at some full service Hyatt's... and those cost way more (at retail) than two small bottles of Aquafina.
That's a pretty blanket statement and definitely not true for the vast majority of countries in the world. Even domestically, would you drink from the tab at Hyatt Regency Flint? (Not sure if there is one and too lazy to look it up right now).
I don't drink still water but even to flush my mouth after brushing teeth I don't use tab water in Asia (apart from JP/SK) or South America.
Recently I stayed at Element in Kuala Lumpur and all their rooms had a 3M faucet in the kitchenette that filtered water automatically.
