I always thought you shouldn’t put running water directly on the burned area but let the water hit above it so the running water goes past the burn, so to speak.
My best guess is that it would be less shocking due to less kinetic energy hitting the wound. Searching online doesn’t give me a conclusive answer to whether that is detrimental, helpful or neutral.

Just don’t turn the tap on full blast and it’s fine. You just want cool flowing water to soothe the burn, you’re not trying to clean it or anything.
