we‘ve had this discussion 10 years ago and the decision was for drinking_water=*

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/amenity=drinking_water

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=drink

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=potable

There’s no benefit from changing established tagging, and there were reasons for choosing drinking water rather than potable water.
