These types of faucets are so common where I live that I can’t really imagine what the alternative is. What do you have if you don’t have this?

Separate knobs for hot and cold, like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/MOEN-Brantford-4-in-Centerset-2-...
Getting ”Access Denied” from that link.
I'm in Europe and the whole site is "Access Denied".
... or two separate taps even. Though it's quite a bit more exotic and ancient.

You can have either completely separate hot and cold taps, each with their own spout, or you can have a setup with separate hot and cold knobs and a single spout.
For my bathroom sink I specified a two taps/one spout unit (similar to this one https://www.screwfix.com/p/swirl-traditional-chrome-104mm-cl... ) because I prefer to be able to get "this is definitely cold water with absolutely no hot water mixed in" when that's what I want. (My hot water comes from a combi boiler, so if you run the hot tap for a short time all that happens is you burn some gas when the boiler detects the water flow but you just get the cold water in the pipe.)
I like the combined handle type for showers, where you always want some hot water and are generally running the water for a long time.
