All Taproot addresses are always encoding a 32 byte data called the "witness program" that is always an x-only public key whether it is a single pubkey address like I explained above or if it is using the script spending route with a TapScript.
To put simply there no longer is hashing involved like P2PKH, P2WPKH, etc addresses.

I don't care about if it is P2PKH or something else, the only thing I care about is if our x-only keep private if we use a tweaked bitcoin taproot address or it can be calculated by the address as in normal taproot addresses without tweak?

For many guys it seem it is not important to hide the public key, but for Satoshi it was important, so, I keep on Satoshi line, Taproot addresses YES, but need to be possible to hide the public key, if not, no thanks.

Ok, they can be used for hot wallets and many applications but never for cold wallets, it's the first protection against a possible future attack.
