I agree completely in the case of valve directly-operated by button. 

There are however (much more useful!) variants in which, when you press the button, water begins to flow and a button
slowly depresses, so you get dozen or so seconds of a water flow after pushing the button, where you can easily use it,
wash both hands etc. before the flow stops.

This stands, however in many places on this planet (and growing by the day) there is now limited amount of drinking
water, and we often simply cannot afford to waste it - however much we might prefer such luxuruios carelessness are
constantly flowing water...
