Why is everyone calling it waste water when it’s usually gone through a charcoal or physical medium filter before hitting the R/O?

It’s literally filtered water, just not as filtered as the rest. It’s certainly better than straight from the tap. It’s definitely potable unless your tap is total shit. And I’d wager fewer peoples tap is total shit than they think (Flint MI residents excluded)
