To keep the valve from getting damaged. There is 2500 psi in an oxygen tank; if the valve is damaged it will take off like a rocket. A full oxygen tank with a broken valve is capable of punching its way through both sides of at least 20 cars before it is too spent to continue flying.

It depends what the hydroxide is; but common hydroxides (Sodium and Calcium hydroxides for instance) can be stored in glass bottles short-term. However, they do attack glass slowly, and equipment that is in regular contact with them can be damaged: burettes made of glass often sieze up after repeated use with these substances. Because of this slow but significant reactions, it is now more normal to see hydroxides stored in plastic bottles.
