Isn’t it bad for Venus fly traps to water them constantly?

No they are bog plants. They want water 24/7 to imitate a bog. Pitcher plants don’t want water 24/7

Just to make sure it has water but it’s definitely supposed to be sitting in water at all times

Water your Venus as often as you want, I water my when I touch it and if feels like it’s beginning to dry out. Honestly, its roots are always sopping wet, as in I keep the sphagnum moss dripping with distilled water almost constantly. Venus fly traps are bog water plants, meaning their roots are CONSTANTLY wet, they HATE drying out. When feeding traps only feed 1-2 at a time because you can over fertilize them. Changing the substrate to sphagnum moss is always a plus, it retains moisture without added risk of a ton of bugs like peat moss. When it hits winter you need to put it outside because Venus flytraps go dormant during the winter. Without this dormancy you’ll see slower growth and eventually death of all traps and the whole plant. If they’re not allowed to rest they will exhaust and die.
