I am wondering this too. I think they contain more of the essential compounds we need need for our water/”salt” balance. Like, not just sodium and chloride as in table salt, but also maybe potassium and calcium?
Store bought “potassium salt” provides you everything but the calcium, unsure about the proportions though. Also, it looks like not all “electrolytes” contain calcium anyway. Eg this one just contains potassium, sodium and chloride and zinc: https://www.target.com/p/pedialyte-advancedcare-electrolyte-solution-tropical-fruit-33-8-fl-oz/-/A-21538752
