Yes, I'm super-weak, you hit the nail right on the head.
Simply put, summer is HOT. WHY would I possibly wanna carry a lot of weight, which is going to make me even HOTTER? While that's great I'll have three liters of water, which I will undoubtedly need, weight is weight; let's not forget to mention how large and cumbersome some of those hydration packs can be. IMO the weight isn't such a problem, it's where it's carried. If you have a bag where you can carry the weight up high it's a non-issue but if it's carried down low, that's going to put a lot of strain on one's back.
