it's sterile. You can just drink it, but for some reason, people don't.

Sterile isn't a problem. The point is, it contains lots of stuff your body decided it didn't want - excess salts, toxins, urea etc. - so decided to get rid of it. In a concentrated solution. Drinking weewee sticks it all back into your body with the added (allegedly) awful taste. Would be much easier (and more palatable) to desalinate seawater than remove all the poisons from wee. Which is why yachts have desalination plants instead of wee recyclers.
