The reason I’ve heard repeatedly is that distilled water isn’t just harmful because it doesn’t provide minerals, it’s that it strips needed minerals from your body.
I don’t know the exact mechanism and can’t be bothered to look it up, but there was a WHO study years ago that reported this finding.

Googled it before commenting to make sure I wasn’t forgetting something and that’s not really what happens.
Common consensus is that you’re fine drinking it so long as you get the minerals you lose through sweat elsewhere in your diet
That’s a myth. A very commonly repeated myth, but a myth nonetheless.
