Fluids in motion create a zone of lower pressure. Low pressure within the running water is surrounded by higher pressure outside the running water causing it to become constricted or narrower. Incidentally, that's the same reason why your shower curtain tends to get sucked inside the shower.

The volume of water that comes out of the tub faucet is much greater than the volume of water that comes out of the kitchen faucet. Let's say that the bathroom is twice as far from the water heater than the kitchen, so twice as much water has to be run to get the hot water. If the tub faucet allows more than twice as much water to pass through, then it will get there faster.

(There is a real convenient style on the market, it fits between the incoming nut at the angle stop and the thread on the body of the stop itself).
