Distilled water is much easier to get hold of compared to a reverse osmosis system. I suspect most people can buy distilled water, but can’t access a reverse osmosis machine. Also it’s easier to be confident that your distilled water is still mostly pure as the manufacturer will be regularly checking their output. Unless you’re running regular testing on your reverse osmosis equipment, and cleaning it and the downstream pipes, then how you be certain about the purity of your home made water? If you are doing all that work, then home made purified water from a reverse osmosis setup is probably as good as store bought distilled water.
