I couldn’t agree less. The push button fountain variant is horrible, you can hardly drink from it, can not wash your hands, particularly the hand that you use to push the button, and even filling a bottle is harder than with the continuous flow.
In addition if the thing wasn’t used recently, you’ll have to wait a long time until the water becomes cold and can be drunken.
Lever operated taps will provide more comfort but for drinking, tapless continuous flow is definitely the best.

Please also reflect about what you wrote: “ I can just go to the fountain and observe what I find.” 
How is such a statement helpful in a tagging discussion? It can be said about everything, I don’t tag it because I can go there to find out. If you are not interested in tagging details, don’t engage in the discussion about these things.
