I don't quite understand the issue here. The tap water is still free and doesn't require anything, just press the button. They added an extra feature that is paid, which requires maintenance and power to run. I can see how it could be paid by the venue hosting this device, but you can't really blame the provider.

Those who buy into this shit lose their right to complain that they can't afford to live.

Yes the capitalist dystopia is when some company provides free water to people, so they can make money on a refrigeration upsell.
The horror.
"Provides free water to people" is an amazing way to pretend they're doing something valuable instead of inventing drinking fountains with a subscription.
