Well, you don’t simply have to get a pill into your throat, it also must go all the way down.
And some pills like sticking to the throat lining very much.

And, sticking in place, they can lead to nasty things, like inflammation or chemical burns - aspirin, for example, does that.

water allows your kidneys/liver to process the medication

Yeah I just surround the pills in a bolus of saliva and let fly.
