Hot and cold knobs work great, and everyone intuitively understands that turning the knob makes more water come out, ie more water pressure. The practical reason is it gives maximum control with the fewest parts.

How does a two knob shower work?
A double-handle faucet controls hot and cold water through each handle. A three-handle faucet controls both the hot and cold water along, and a diverter handle shifts water flow between the showerhead, other shower attachments, or a tub.
How does a shower change temperature?
Pressure valves open and close pipes in accordance with water flow. If cold or hot water levels drop, in the event of a toilet flush or a dishwasher cycling on, a faulty pressure valve could make up for the drop in pressure by sending scalding or freezing water through your shower.
How does a hot and cold water faucet work?
The valve lives inside the cartridge housing. It operates via moving the faucet handle from side to side. This motion allows for varying amounts of hot and cold water to flow through the diamond-embedded disc. They enter and combine inside the ceramic dic and then flow out of the faucet.
How do taps change temperature?
Depending upon exactly what kind of faucet you have, different valve-like devices, such as mixer taps, single handle mixers, temperature control valves, and thermostatic mixing valves, are used to regulate the temperature of the water before it comes out of the spigot.
