Then you are ignorant of things that have already happened.

Are coaches allowed to give instructions during drinks breaks?

Yes, and we have already seen it happen.
During the United States' pre-World Cup friendly against Senegal, Mauricio Pochettino utilised his side's three-minute hydration break to get his ideas across via the use of a laptop.

except that's not getting an advantage for future games??? that's in the same game and the hydration breaks are not one sided, one team does not stop playing for 3 minutes while the other one continues. So they don't need to be in every game

I guarantee the reason for why it's tournament wide is precisely because too many coaches could see how it COULD be used to gain advantage - again, this was just a demonstration in one, one-off friendly match as to how they could be used to influence a game beyond what would otherwise be possible.  Just because YOU cannot see how it can be used to gain an advatage doesn't mean everyone else is so limited.

except it's not, it's in there for the same reason the final now has a half time show, for the yanks and FIFA's greed

That it can have multiple reasons to exist, both sporting and commercial, is why it was going to happen, anyway.

 

EDIT: Go Canada :D
