That was exactly my first thought too.

I wouldn’t take what Mega Lo Mart does as representative of everyone.  This is a proprietary brand, and other companies also bottle water in the 20 floozie size.

Stopped by Walmart today and in one of the isles there was a stack of water bottles.  They were Sam's brand 24 packs boldly proclaiming that the whole pack has 74 oz more water than the "regular size."  They were of course the 20 oz bottles.  If this doesn't spell the death of the 0.5 L bottle, I don't know what will.
