Should fake reverb ever be applied to
outdoor recordings? This guy I know
played me a recording he made of a
singer outdoors and he had put a LOT
of reverb on it.

Reverb is always a matter of taste.

Outdoor recordings usually have no reverb at all, just occasional
reflections off nearby structures. If you want reverb, you'll have to add
it.

Not all added reverb sounds fake.
