To be fair, there is a use for it. If your at high altitudes, it may be needed. Hopefully no one should need it to deal with pollution though.

In this particular case its intended literally as portrayed in the Spaceballs movie which is what makes this whole thing appalling.

But yeah, theres other use cases for bottled air.

Maybe companies that manufacture and sell oxygen tanks can get in on the game by driving out of town 20 miles and bottling that air out there and marketing it as 'Great Outdoors' bottled air

In areas with bad air, 20 miles is not "out of town." But companies that bottle oxygen already have the equipment to purify the air even in the middle of that smog.
