I'd like a thing like that, but not enough to do the under-sink plumbing.
Yes. Those are the ones. Eventually they rot and you have to buy another one. NOT happy with the last one I bought -- it's really had to flip the little lever.
I tried one of those and I hated it. It "aerated" and wouldn't cover the area I wanted.
Took that off immediately. I HATE those damn things. For one thing, if you want to rinse off the thing you let cookies cool on you have to aim at each damn wire.
Then it's just broken. One of the showers at the gym was that way, but the rest (similar controls) work properly. Turn for temp, pull for flow. The staff didn't seem to understand the problem and it never got fixed. Serve the bastards (24-Hour Fitness) right to go bankrupt! They really skimped on all sorts of maintenance.
My grandson bought some low-flow showerheads from Sharper Image that were really good. You got a hard blast of water, but not a lot was needed.
Ace Hardware was the only place I found.
We have one similar to that second one, in addition to the side sprayer.

My husband doesn't do cars. Although he maintains our lawn equipment, he really hates internal combustion engines.

OTOH, Kalifornia is responsible for this travesty of a kitchen faucet. From Delta:
"Thank you for contacting Peerless Faucet Company. I?m sorry to hear that you?re having an issue with your flow rates and I?m happy to help with this situation. I apologize for the flow rates you are experiencing. However, California has changed their water laws through the years. With California we are only allowed 1.5 GPM from the kitchen faucet and 1.75 GPM from the shower head."
Apparently Kalifornia thinks that, like cats, we will stand there watching our coffeepots overflow for the sheer joy of it, so restriction is necesary to make us get bored before we waste water. Never mind that golf courses use amazing quantities of potable water. If artificial turf is good for homeowners, why not for golf courses?
These are the same people who are responsible for road diets and traffic calming.
"Calm down, Citizen, we know what's good for you."
