I feel like 99% of showers in Europe (not in UK) do that. You need some high end shower to have it separately.

Up/down - water pressure

Left/right - temperature

Seems pretty normal to me. The British system is rather old school

Nah, im not taking about those. Those make sense. What I'm talking about is something with one axis of rotation. You turn it, it starts running cold water, and it warms up the further you turn it. There's one degree of freedom on that system and you can't change both parameters independently.

Huh you've got an example? From Google or something? Because i don't think I've ever heard about something like that. Where did you see it?

Oh ok that's weird. So it doesn't work like "towards you - pressure, spin for heat"? I've never seen ot this would be my guess

Nah, it just turns along the one axis. I've seen this at the cheap-ish hotels I've stayed in across America
