No, I don't see them often, but do see them.

Yep, it is a pot filler. More common with larger gas stoves like Viking, Wolf, etc...

Getting to be very common in new construction. I guess it's the newest "cheap to install" kitchen fad.

Yes I see them mostly in the upper end homes or what I think start as an upper end home of a half mil or more . I never see them on the less expensive homes.

I guess that it saves you from having to carry a heavy pot of water from the sink to the stove, but you would still have to carry it back to drain it. Unless you just boil it dry or wait for it to evaporate.

Do you mean a pot filler, or just one cut off?

I see pot fillers all the time, but this the first one I have ever seen with only one handle/valve.
Two valves help prevent accidentally turning the water on if you bump into the handle.

Any code provisions that may apply with a water faucet over a electric range?

I can't imagine how that helps... most of the range top pot fillers I see have just one handle, but I'm sure that they're many types.

Really?

Most (actually all) I see have two handles, most you see have one...fair enough. But how can you not see the advantage of two handles?

Speaking of two handles.
There should be two.
I think there is a Code that requires a shutoff valve for every faucet except the tub.

Look to see if there is a shutoff for the faucet.

What you call an advantage could be a burden if your hands are full. I guess it could go either way. I don't own one, so I have no first hand knowledge of how convenient it would be. I bet they're as useful as hydro-massage tubs -- everyone wants one, nobody uses them.

I had to look it up

From the 2006 IRC
P2903.9.3 Fixture valves and access. Valves serving individual
fixtures, appliances, risers and branches shall be provided
with access. An individual shutoff valve shall be
required on the fixture supply pipe to each plumbing fixture
other than bathtubs and showers.
