For everyday mug or pot tea, pour precision changes little; it is largely aesthetic there.
Temperature still matters more

Pour control is secondary to water temperature for tea quality; prioritise variable temperature first, see variable temperature kettle.
Variable temp gooseneck
The genuinely useful version for precision brewers combines a gooseneck spout with temperature control in one kettle.
Who it suits
Matcha and pour over enthusiasts and precision brewers; not most everyday tea drinkers.
The caveat
A lovely object, but pour precision is a refinement, not a quality fundamental, see equipment guide.
Quick take
A gooseneck kettle is genuine precision for matcha and pour over, niche for everyday tea; temperature matters more, see variable temperature kettle.
