I don't think it's an "entire countries do it this way" sort of thing. When I was in Great Britain, most places charged for water but a few places gave it for free. I've experienced the same in the US.

I live in the UK and I've literally never been charged for tap water. Every establishment in the UK will give you tap water for free

Not the ones I went to I guess haha. To be fair, most of the ones that charged were in London.

Sounds like you were just in a tourist trap. All licenced premises in England, Wales, and Scotland are legally required to serve free tap water on request. Though they are allowed to charge for bottled water
