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

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.

Re: A first for me...
Any code provisions that may apply with a water faucet over a electric range?

Re: A first for me...
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.

Re: A first for me...
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.

Re: A first for me...
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.
