As it is used rarely I care more about discouraging wider use and to give warning to potential data consumers to ignore it.
For example I used it at one of points while making https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/pull/4423 before discovering that it is a trap and not helpful tag. I still have not entirely figured out how to best tag drinking water features (help is highly welcome!) but I am sure that adding man_made=drinking_fountain to amenity=drinking_water is not really clarifying anything and just causing confusion.
