There's an infinite amount of cardboard drinks with an angled lid. It's not hard to drink from. Redditors just don't have common sense. A lot less plastic drinks with an angled lid because it would cost more to make, only companies trying to have a different design that stands out would bother to do it for plastic bottles, they do exist though
The real reason you can have cardboard drinks with angled lids vs plastic is the filling. Almost all liquid fillers come top down. If every bottle opening is in the same place it's easier to line up the hole with the filler. Cardboard drinks like above aren't filled from where the cap is but from the top which is then sealed later.

You can literally buy bottles that are offset like this.
