I agreed, for what it's worth. :)
Our daughters, never at a loss for opinions when it comes to home decor, immediately suggested a model they'd seen last week, when severe ice and snow conditions had them seek overnight shelter at a friend's house.
So I visited Amazon, my go-to source for all things I like to shop for, and ordered this wee beastie (on sale with free shipping, a win-win):
This morning we installed the thing, and I even had all the tools needed but one: a basin wrench. Fortunately, there's a locally-owned hardware a couple miles down the road, and a throw-back to earlier times. They have a bit of everything, and tools I've not seen anywhere else.
Younger Daughter, who was a professional chef for six years, is an enthusiast about anything which reminds her of commercial kitchens. She gave it a smiley-face via text, when I finished.

How far out can you pull the hose? Our main sink is a really weird double sink, but the left side, with the disposal, is about half the depth of the right side!
And the hose on the pull out sprayer looks to be original. It's been cut back several times in the past, and now it only extends about 10".
It's on the "get it OUTTA here" list for the kitchen remodel, and I'm sure the Mrs will want to discuss fixtures with me.
That is definitely an 'odd' looking one!
We have a similar model on the sink that was put in over this past Thanksgiving weekend. It works well, except about once a week I need to unscrew the end, clear out the rust flecks and put it back together as the stream strength decreases. New sink and faucet on old pipes, oh, well.
This weekend I have had to soak it in vinegar because of Michigan hard water. So, I did the bathroom sink and shower head as well.
All is shiny clean and new for Easter!! :)
Jim, the entire gooseneck is the hose. It doesn't pull out, but is flexible enough to reach opposite sides of the sinks. For the record, our disposal is attached to the right-hand, deeper sink.
NFO, it's a standard commercial faucet with separate "pot filler" and spray nozzles. They each swivel 360°, not that you'd want them to go all the way 'round.
Suz, that makes me glad we don't have any rust. But I guess as long as you don't mind ... :)
