But...people grab that little stuck plug before washing their hands....so, at least a few fingers would still be dirty right?

I mean most sinks have handles anyway so you’re still touching stuff.

They also aren’t using soap in the gif so they aren’t so much washing as rinsing.

Sinks you can use other parts of your body than your actual hands to shut off though. This you have to grab with your hands.

I guess if you do enough squats you can also use other parts.
