Eh??

If it got wet ever, won't it just drain by gravity being on the
underside.....??

Think about why window sills have a overhang or a groove underneath.


That's for rain. You don’t get anything like that under worktops.

It is
to stop water tracking on the underside.


And you don’t have that with a worktop, for a reason.

The cold tap connector will be
prone to condensation as well.


No more so than a tap with a longer threaded part is.

And trivial to estapol the counterbore if you are worried.
