We live in capitalism, comrade. The fact that it costs money to make it a closed loop system is the best possible excuse not to

Genuine question -- how does it "use" that water? Isn't it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

It probably depends on geographic location. Evaporative cooling is much more effective in areas with low humidity.
