I think this is why hydration packs were invented:

I think that's what we were doing before hydration packs and growlers.

I think we were more often using plain old backpacks

does anyone use seatpost mounted water bottle cages and why not?

Sure. Both eat and down tube cages. So I don't have to carry them in
my jersey pockets :-)

I was assuming he meant cages mounted just behind the seat. I guess
some time trialists like those, supposedly for better aerodynamics.

My junk box contains a sort of bracket that can be used to mount two
bottle cages there, but I've never used it. I just don't need it, and
it would interfere with a saddle bag.

On long tours, I've carried a water bag to get me through areas where
three bottles might not suffice. The bag is the polyethylene inner
liner from a cardboard box of wine.
