Wouldn't it be about the same with Fire? Or Steam (which is a gas, which unlike water, it's in constant movement at all times)?

You are assuming that if you make a sphere of Water, it will just fall apart into drops the moment you stop "holding it". Logically, the same with almost-anything done with Water Dust. But why do you assume that?

Dust, used via Aura, is there to Simulate Magic. So if you make a sphere of water, why not assume that, being "Magic", it would remain in the form of a sphere after creation?

If you need any "Technical Explanation", the simplest answer is that the Aura you used to activate the Water Dust, would be used to retain the shape after creation. Hell, it's probably the same with other things done with Aura, such as Blade Beams.
