This is an excellent point...
However, (and I am not referring to Xringer's airtap, I am comparing the attempts by randen and Hv23t) the twisting failure is taking place inside the tank.
Xringer's Airtap uses a custom fitting that would be difficult for most DIY people to make, unless they had a machine shop. It does turn out that both randen & Hv23t do have machining equipment at their disposal, but have chosen to use a more straightforward approach (that would be accessible to most DIY readers).
The Hv23t attempt worked, the attempt by randen didn't... what made the difference?
