but why cant a person just drink water on top of their food?

the water will mix in with the food in the stomach and aid in digestion.

Absolutely, you are correct. However, I'm merely commenting on the wisdom behind tasting some salt prior to a meal as a Sunnah.

Water throughout the meal is better for digestion than straight after, so again there's some more wisdom in this Sunnah too!. I'm sure drinking water throughout is a Sunnah unless I'm wrong in which case rectification is requested.

So all in all, it's good practice and good eating "etiquette".
