The real reason water is involved with storms isn't simple. Convection is one of those notions that people want to believe because it seems simple. It's actually impossible. And there are no simple alternatives.
Understanding water's *correct* role in the atmosphere is the most important concept for understanding storms and atmospheric flow, including jet streams. Water's role in the atmosphere has to do with its surface tension, not convection.
People fight to maintain belief in an impossible explanation as long as it seems plausible. The real reason H2O is involved in storms and atmospheric flow seems implausible. Surface tension is not a simple concept.
When you eliminate what is impossible your mind opens to consider what is implausible.
Before then people experience cognitive dissonance. That makes them act like children who need their diapers changed.

I think you are right. Nobody seems to be able to explain why they think convection theory is true.
They just believe it.
It's like a religion -- or global warming.
