> Is there some problem with storing it this way or do those brands just tend to be the crappy ones?
Both. The non-tub kind is a lot firmer and tastier, mostly due to the manufacturers giving a shit, which leads to the better packaging.
You don't have to store it immersed in water, just in a plastic bag. I usually use leftover grocery produce bags. It doesn't actually spoil any faster, any spoilage is much more obvious (sliminess / breakdown into chalky goop), and it doesn't get all loose and waterlogged.
