Answer 1

I think other comments had it right, but I can add that having a bad taste may also make the medicine more effective. An unpleasant experience makes people think “I hate it, it’s disgusting. It must be strong”. Wich actually makes it more effective ! It adds a placebo component to the medicine basically. So maybe they do it for that too ?
