Yeah my home's insulated as well. But the water pipes that supply my home are mostly outside. I turn on the tap and get a pint of ice cold water. I'm not sure why a bottle would make it more convenient. I did this when I lived much further south as well. A pint of tap water is actually pretty good. And if you live in a developing country without safe and tasty tap water then your water comes pre chilled from the shop anyway. And it's easier to just drink it from the bottle it comes in.

Bottles contain more water than most glasses and compared to glasses they can be used safely close to electronics and keep the water cool for longer.

Sure, I could go and fetch more from the tap but that's annoying and is something that will get in the way of me drinking water. Ice water is even more annoying with glasses because the ice melts faster and the glass will sweat a lot.

And no, I'm not in a developing country. There are only like 8 countries in total around 59-58° 34' N and none are really developing countries. Except Russia of course. The water in Estonia is apparently not the best and the USA apparently has shit water.
