Maybe you just hike differently to what I assumed.
I do the occasional hike anywhere from 4-8 miles and I usually drink an extra 1-2L for the day - that's how I reckon I'd double my intake for a 12-15 mile hike. I don't piss like a race horse, the hikes are in 95-105 degree weather, and I go at pace. To each their own.
And what percentage of the pre butterfly design were because of sand/dust etc. then contrast that to the butterfly design percentage. They could have merely improved reliability in another way(s) with the butterfly design.
If you're awake for around 16 hours, not sure why drinking an average of 500ml of fluids every 2 hours seems excessive to you. Or why drinking 1L of fluids every 2 hours (when your agenda for the day includes doing a 15 mile hike in hot weather) is considered a lot.
If what I've described above would make you go to the bathroom every 30 mins, perhaps see a doctor.
