Well, water does evaporate at less than 212° at the surface. It’s just that the entirety of a pot of water will boil if it reaches 212.
Just think about puddles or whatever after rain on a metallic surface or concrete. It’s not entirely being absorbed or cleaned up by anyone.

In dry climates, the water actually will dry itself relatively quickly as long as there’s not an overwhelming amount. In more humid areas though, yup.

Yup, I live in a desert climate and only clean up big puddles. Anything that doesn’t make a splash when I step on it will be gone in under an hour.
