Yeah, I stopped getting to reuse plastic grocery bags as wastebasket liners and started buying dedicated liners. And even in the old days when the disposable plastic bags were still available here, I would bring back any bags I wasn't using as wastebasket liners and reuse them until they broke.
IIRC, the stated purpose at the time was to reduce plastic bags blowing in the wind. But I didn't see a lot of that before the rules, nor do I see much of it in US places that don't have sun a ban. It seems more correlated to general cultural tidiness than to rules around bags. Japan loves plastic bags and I basically don't see any litter anywhere there. But I did see a lot of them out in the environment in Cambodia and Vietnam.
