    Maybe. I guess that if I was starting from scratch, I might have a
    general tag of water_feature and find choose suitable values to
    describe
    these things.




then I am happy we do not start from scratch :)
There are so many different kind of water features, that would be useless without additional tags, just like amenity=social_facility, there are already so many diffferent types of fountains, imagine if this was taken away and we'd have to start to disambiguate "water feature". And some fountains aren't about water at all (champagne, chocolate, ...) although these are really few in comparison, and typically not in the public space.


A decorative fountain does not have to 'spurt water up into the air'..

Example Tom Bass Wall Fountain, Sydney, Australia 1963. Nicknamed "The Urinal" for obvious reasons!

The photos are decorative fountains .. to me. It may be possible to obtain drinking water from them, but to me visually they are for the most part decorative.
