Many commercial kitchens have a swing spigot over the cooking area,
Chinese kitchens typically have a spigot over the wok area because
thats where they wash woks. But totally unecessary for home
kitchens.... most folks don't cook with very large pots and even if
the pot is a bit on the large size it can be filled with a pitcher and
emptied with a ladle. I often add water with the pot lid, or an empty
tin from some ingredient
