Default 2 BATH TAP HOLES....

probably lots of people would like a single hole mixer but don't fancy
their chances of invisibly filling the spare hole.
SO!
Why don't manufacturers offer a mixer tap and/or shower rail combo
that could use the spare hole as the first fixing point and provide a riser
rail that could bend or curve to one side of the bath. This could/would
provide
a more interesting and/or aesthetic feature to a bath/shower?

Perhaps they already do but if they don't, why is it always left to me to
think of
these things?

But there is no *spare* hole to fill, because if you're going to try
fitting a single-hole mixer to a bath already provided with two holes,
you're going to want to position the aforementioned mixer in a new hole,
midway between the existing two, innit?

Maybe many people have thought about it, then immediately realised it
is actually a **** idea and discarded it immediately rather than
posting it to a newsgroup.

That's a much better idea.

Cold bucket of water for you then?

I hit a copper that was standing outside. So you're wrong.
