The fuck? No...?
The US is clownish and backwards in a lot of ways but this is not one of them.
Then what are those for compared to just a sink?
For conveniently drinking out of them and filling water bottles in public buildings like schools and hospitals. They're really common in NA, what part of the world are you in?
Germany, we do have a few fountains (but they are really uncommon and would have more in common with a normal tab and sink then the american fountains I've seen). I'd usually just fill up my bottle from a sink at a bathroom when I'm on the go.
