It would be safer to disinfect the spigot but I would not find it easier because I would forget to do it. I do see that plastic part sticking up and it reminds me where to put my hands.

You do bring up a very important point. There is a spectrum of solutions for most problems. At one extreme we have a fully manual approach. What you suggest is in that camp. At the other extreme is a fully automatic solution. A light sensor driving a water valve comes to mind. But this is a continuum - most solution involve a mix of manual and automatic. The challenge is to find the correct blend for a particular situation.
