No, it would not "turn them into taps", but it WOULD mean that a tap
is present as part of the structure of the device.
"amenity=drinking_water; tap=yes".
If something is fitted with a tap on its outlet .. it is then a tap.
If it was fitted with a shower .. then it becomes a shower.
If a roof is later fitted with walls, a door or 2 and some windows is it
then
building=roof, layer=1, walls=yes, entry_doors=yes, windows=yes ..
or simply building =yes?
The water is potable and you have to operate a tap to make it flow (so
you may be OK to get a drink, but your dog might struggle and need
assistance)
A tap is a device to control the flow of whatever liquid (or gas, I
suppose) is coming out. Potable water, non-potable water; lemonade;
petrol (gasoline), Oxygen, whatever.......
Nit picking: Oxygen is a gas .. under 'normal' conditions.
I would expect the following to have taps are part of their construction
- as a OSM default - shower, bottle filler, drinking fountain. If there
is no tap .. then tap=no .. or better flow=continuous. Why is
flow=continuous better .. it says what it is.

I have the impression that slow running water points in Europe rapidly
are fitted with a push button fot a limited amount of water or a
limited tap time. Would that turn them into water taps?
Continuous flow of water features in Australia has long been
problematic. Anything that is used in a not continuous manner has a tap
fitted of some description for user operation. Public taps have even had
their handles removed when things get rather dry.
