Yeah, as long as they change the filter. (Most places don't, and don't even know how to.)

Kind of interesting that these have been a thing in Europe. It's all just regular taps and the few ones I have seen weren't very popular.

I think it's probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it's 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it's despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.

Oh, yeah we do. I love ice water even while shoveling snow.

Really what's the difference between the top 3? Other than buttons.

EZH20 sensors suck ass. Maybe I'm just going full boomer, but they waste a lot more water than the rest.
I have a 20% chance of getting no water out, 20% chance of it running for 3 minutes straight after I walked away, remaining% chance of it prematurely cutting off midway thru filling for 0 apparent reason at all.
