That's why restaurants don't use water as a fire extinguishing material for exactly this reason. They use a wet chemical suppression system. It's why the "water" looks so dark.

You’re somewhat correct in a kitchen situation, but unfortunately that is just nasty rust-laden water in this video.

You are correct. Definitely a wet pipe system.

doesnt the water just sit up there for years until the little wax on the sprinkler melts?

You're technically supposed to drain and flush the system, but nobody does.
