Default Kitchen Faucets: How Lazy Can You Get?

Lately I've been seeing ads on TV for Delta brand kitchen faucets that
you talk to using your Alexa device:

A quick ad on Youtube:

I've given this some thought. I simply cannot imagine a scenario where
I'd need to tell the kitchen faucet to turn on and off by itself from
across the room. A "feature", apparently, is you can tell it to
dispense a specific amount of water. "Alexa, tell Delta faucet to
dispense 1 cup." Problem with that is you already have to have the
recepticle (measuring cup, dog bowl, etc.) in the sink under the faucet.
I don't see this voice activated thing as a time saving feature. If I
have to walk to the kitchen sink to put a measuring cup under the
faucet, surely I could just turn it on and fill the cup while I'm
standing there.

Your thoughts?
