They dont carry around Reptisafe, water purification tablets or reptished on them in the wild and they have been getting along fine for millions of years.

If you want to buy that stuff, by all means go for it but for me, i can find better more 'beneficial' stuff to buy my reptiles.
Lol, that's like saying "snakes carry a parasite load in the wild so we should expose them to parasites in captivity because it's natural." The parameters in captivity are different to the wild so our care should be adjusted accordingly.

Snakes in captivity are unable to experience a natural balance with parasites and would quickly become overwhelmed by them. In the same breath, wild snakes don't drink chlorinated water from taps.
