If the user cannot control the flow, there is NOT a "tap" present.
around here, the typical drinking fountain is an iron cast column with
permanent flow. There is a water tap inside the column but the "user"
cannot open or close it (unless the cover is open, happens from time
to time, but is not the regular situation).
outside:

inside:

So the "user" cannot control the flow, but technically, a tap is
present. Shall we ignore this tap because it is usually neither
visible not accessible?
I would not use the tag man_made=water_tap for these.
Why not use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:fountain
You will note the different tags - some relate to the 'style' of the
structure others relate to the water delivery eg mist, bottle_refill ..
thus the tag is used for anything.
The word 'type' in the description is the probable source of this
confusion.
