Bathtub faucet in shower?
Watching Love It Or List It and often see a bathtub faucet spout about a foot off the floor of a shower. Why?

It's very common in other parts of the world. I've asked in Costa Rica and one person sorta look at me like I'm an idiot and said "to fill your bucket for cleaning". Maybe I don't do enough cleaning but I didn't think that was a good enough reason for it to be so common. Another person said it was so you could feel the temp of the water and get it set correctly before sending it up to the shower head.

I've seen that as well as I surfed by. I believe they did say it was just for cleaning feet/lower legs or filling buckets.

Filling a bucket? A spout set at the normal height will fill the bucket just as well.

In the 21st century doesn't every kitchen sink have a pullout sprayer? Ever try lugging a 5 gallon bucket filled with water down a flight of stairs?

Here's something else, I have very sweaty feet that get pretty stinky if I wear boots or shoes. All my wives complained about it (now divorced so I could care less for the present) and I would have to either take a full shower or awkwardly sit on the edge of a bathtub to wash them. A spout like that would have been very convenient.

And no, not every kitchen has a pull out sprayer. Plus, those have very low flow compared to a tub spout.
Not trying to argue, but you asked what it was for and we offered our ideas.
