@Machi74005 The primary advantage is they can withstand heat. Over a camp fire, these will hold up and can cook and distill water for you. I've not tried it, but I'm guessing a nalgene bottle would melt.

@Machi74005 Stainless steal water bottles do not weigh that much more. They also have the advantage of keeping the temperature of the liquid inside. You can also use them (while camping) as a pot over the fire. They are much more durable, and the cap are usually tethered on the inside so it would be "more" airtight.

@Machi74005 Plastic leaches molecules into the water. Concerns about BPA carcinogenic properties initiated the move to BPA free plastics for water bottles. Who really knows the long term effects of exposure to minute quantities of ingested plastic molecules? Play it safe with stainless steel containers. You can heat single wall stainless steel containers too without melting them.

you also can boil water inside a stainless steel bottle
to sterilize it or to just get hot water for a tea or a hot meal.
you can´t do that with a plastic bottle.

@Machi74005 - A lot of it is part of the environmental movement. Billions of water bottles end up in landfills and in bodies of water each year. Plastic bottles also supposedly can leach chemicals into water. So the movement was looking to make reuseable containers made of a safe material other than plastic (such as stainless steel) that doesn't leach and won't end up in a landfill after one use.
I'm not a tree hugger, but it makes sense. I bought one.
I don't understand what all the latest craze is with these steel water bottles. Compared to Nalgene bottles, they weigh alot more and cannot hold as much water. A better solution yet is a hydration pack that's either stand alone or fits in a backpack, and is a more efficient carry solution especially for hiking or bugging out. Someone enlighten me on why I've misunderstood stainless steel water bottles.

@Machi74005
I think what you use it for is a factor. if the bottle is going to get abused steel seems like a better choice IMO
