Even if they are the same temperature the reaction to them is starkly different.

I would say it’s about context. When you are in hot water you are doing something relaxing 95% of the time, showering, bathing, hot tub etc.
Many people also find hot air to feel good when relaxing, just look at all the people that use saunas, steam rooms, lay in the sun at the beach, etc. I also find hot air better for exercising than cool air, it makes me feel more loose and the sweat feels great, almost cleansing. Exercising when it’s cold feels stiff and then when I inevitably sweat it makes it even colder.
Hot air only feels horrible when you are trying not to sweat like at work or when dressed formally like for a summer wedding.
