To me, throttling down means taking your foot off the gas.
But in this thread, hotels are being accused of buying new taps etc to reduce water flow.
Surely, if this is the case, hotels are applying the brakes rather than 'throttling down'!
Would it make you happier to call it “choking down” the water flow with new tap and shower-head purchases? The terms can be rather synonymous in some contexts, including at least this one.

Is discussing the hotels’ big-brothering with the hotel room shower experience — an experience considered so critical historically that hotels have gone to great lengths to improve it — any different than the issue with hotel room temperatures/thermostats?
