Why does my brushed stainless look like this?

We got AS Green Tea brushed stainless faucets for the sinks and bathtub. The waterspot stains are terrible! Every time water dries it leaves dark spots that show incredibly.

Now I get that this is a working bathroom, not a showroom, but they look much worse than either the 50 year old polished chrome faucets in my other bathroom or the few year old polished chrome kitchen faucet.

Is this the dirty little secret of any brushed finished, that you have to live with this or dry it after each use? Is it specific to brushed stainless, rather than, say, brushed nickel? Or is the AS finish just junk? The shower seems to be much worse than the sink faucets, but I assume that's explained by the fact that they get much wetter.
