I wouldn't call a 5 cent plastic water bottle really trying - if they wanted to really try, they would restore proper Polaris and domestic F service, and provide an enhanced F+B experience at the airport for Polaris passengers in lieu of the Polaris Lounge.
I would call the 5 cent water bottle an unnecessary pollutant, which will likely be mis-used by customers in the lounges who will try to repeat-refill the bottles from beverage dispensers while risking cross-contamination.
