Yeah, they've gotten trendy, but functionally there's a reason for the design. Bladders are a pain to me, definitely not a direct substitute. I end up either putting the water in the pack or occasionally clipping it to a loop somewhere with a carabiner. Also not great.
It has zip closure, and side water bottle holders
I hike with kids. Much easier to pass a bottle around than everyone come be right next to me and drink from the same straw (and for the argument it is all the same bottle you can drink from a water bottle without it being in your lips or tongues all over it).
Side bottle pouches are key and without it I'm not buying it. If you don't want to put water in it put another item you would like easy access to.

There are mold spores in the air. When you air out your bladder, you're just introducing those mold spores.
All you need to do is rinse out your bladder before and after use (particularly the bite valve), and store it in a dark, cool location. You won't grow anything.
I've been using the same Camelbak bladder for 20 years. I have never aired it out. After pulling it out of extended storage, I'll put a drop or two of dish soap in there with hot water, agitate, then thoroughly rinse it. Before every use, it gets flushed with fresh, cold water a couple of times. Nothing has ever grown in it.
Meanwhile, people I've known who obsessively air dry their bladder end up with all kinds of disgusting stuff growing in there.

I'm unsure how you rinse yours out without introducing mold spores.
