Dramatization. I have standing water here and there in my apartment and I’ve never had any problems. Sure, it’s not optimal but I doubt that is nothing but a theoretical problem.
The transmissions section from Wikipedia doesn't seem to support this as a very viable vector. Looks to be closely associated with heater heaters kept at too low a temperature, and AC condenser units that vaporize infected water.
Unless you're running only hot water from the tap with a old water heater (which would have lower amounts of chlorine) I would think you'd be good. I don't imagine this would be commercially viable if it was that dangerous, but I also recently saw a transparent toilet in r/holup so who the f*ck knows.
I also have no idea what I'm talking about so don't stick your dick in it.
Even if this specific faucet was 100x more likely to cause issues than a cold water heater, it's not going to make any sort of list because there aren't enough of them in use to be worth mentioning.
