Just be glad you weren't flying YUL-DCA; that flight gets its own enclosed gate area with an additional security check, and no bathrooms or water fountains inside.
I can see a theoretical "logic" chain for the restriction, though it's still pretty silly: if you managed to sneak a bottle of Magical Bad Liquid past the checkpoint, you could confuse matters by having it be a bottle that matched something sold in the secure area. Which still makes no sense.
