It is extorsion. When you live in a touristic place, I think at some point you just stop seeing people as people.
I know I can’t stand living in such a place anymore, personally. Not necessarily tourists themselves, but the absolute corruption that tourism brought to the place and its surroundings. So much greed.
In France it’s illegal to refuse serving tap water in restaurants, and it is always free.
You can also drink water on public taps anywhere, usually in public parks. For free.
I know it’s not quite as good in the rest of Europe, but I am not sure how you got this idea we are stingy with water. At least it’s potable!

France is the only country I’ve been to in Europe that does a good job providing water.
