You miss the concept.

Pot filler faucets originated in commercial kitchens where they are used
to fill a pot that will remain on the burner all day and have portions
of whatever scooped out all day. At the end of the day, there is a lot
less than a full pot remaining. At that point the remains are either
scooped out into a container for the refrigerator (with date sticker) or
disposed of.
