Separate hot and cold in a house in the US? I'm surprised. I haven't seen that in a house newer than about 50 years old. My grandmother's house had these types of faucets, but it's almost 100 years old.

Born and raised in the US. Lived in/visited multiple states. Apartments, condos, hotels, homes. All had dual faucets in the bathroom.

Does it get below freezing at those places? I have lived in very nice and very poor places in the south, but I have never seen dual faucets anywhere except for a maintenance closet with a sink or something like that. Definitely not in anything residential though. Makes me wonder if it has to do with pipes freezing or something.

Nope. They are on display in Lowes and Home Depot. I think it is a personal preference. It may be based on builders and them buying things in lots. Their designers may make the decision to buy one over the other.
