American here... I've never in my life seen one of these. I'm sure they exist, but they're not common.

They’re a somewhat common upgrade in high-end houses. You can install one yourself relatively easily assuming the sink has a hole for it.

I’ve only seen one in person myself. More common is a fridge that can dispense hot water (!!)

It’s definitely a “high-end” kitchen feature, I agree that’s it’s not standard in most homes.
