I thought, who waters their lawn with hot water? But the guy made a
decent point that if you want to wash your deck or something similar,
it may be good to have warm water.

OK, good point, and I might go for it, but still I can't remember ever
seeing a garden faucet with hot water connection. Have you seen it, or
even better, does your garden have such a connection? If so, do you
find it useful in practice?

The hose bib alongside my garage supplies "tempered" water, adjusted
by a mixing valve in the basement... the last owner plowed nearby
driveways with a tractor in winter and so having a supply of tepid
water in winter came in handy to wash off road salt. I don't see any
use for it in warm weather.
