Liquids aren’t disallowed simply because they are liquids. They don’t inherently pose a hazard just by nature of being liquid. No, the issue is allowing unknown or otherwise mysterious liquids onboard that may be masquerading as a different type of liquid, including hazardous, poisonous, or explosive liquids. All of the sold and distributed liquid onboard the aircraft is known, secure, and vetted. They just don’t want you bringing random liquids onboard without knowing their potential effects or dangers.
