The master cylinder to air boundary is not the only route for the
water to get into the fluid, some also migrates through the rubber
hose walls. * I've seen this myself by having a sealed set of bellows
above the master cylinder. *The fluid was wetter after a few months
use, despite no fluid being directly exposed to atmosphere.

The vehicle wouldn't pass an MOT or a scrutineers inspection without a
properly engineered reservoir cap.
