In electrical wiring, there is a hot and a cold wire, plus a neutral. How come plumbing does not have a neutral? All sinks, tubs, etc have a hot and cold water spigot. How come none of them have a neutral spigot? Sometimes I'd like water that is neither hot or cold, just neutral. Why does the plumbing code not require all homes to have a spigot for neutral water?

That's a good comparison. Not technically correct, but it does make it a lot easier to explain.
