And anyone can breathe underwater if they want to and breathe in space if they want to. This isn't the only thing granted by default that is a technical advantage to someone who chooses not to have a way to do it.
This is to say that anyone could summon some shoes to do it for you as well. If thats in flavor for you. That is the counter to other people not being able to breathe in water or space. Anyone can swim, a clear advantage against people that cannot. Desco isn't very good at it, she just floats in the air instead.
Terrain isn't normally used as an advantage or disadvantage in a fight unless its self-imposed or Flight.
So, to conclude this post, there are already distinct advantages anyone can have. Why is Water Walking specifically disallowed, or rather required to spend OM for?
EDIT: To add a bit more, the combination of breathing underwater and swimming (for free) makes water walking almost pointless. There is zero reason for you not to keep up. Its almost pointless, because there is value in RP Fodder.
