Plastic water bottles can technically be reused a few times though, right?

Single use plastic cutlery as well. The problem is that the large majority of people doesn't do that because that's not what they're designed for.

Brittle as hell and usually break. Useless after being used once.

I go for metal or wooden cutlery if at all possible.

Very technically it was designed for reuse. It was created for the armed forces to be able to carry lightweight utensils. But, of course, you are correct that as it currently exists, the quality is too poor for durable reuse.
