Isn’t the water in sprinkler systems a stagnant mess too?
Yes. A combination of rust, thread cutting oil, and water that has been in the pipes often since the system was filled. It smells, it will stain anything it touches, and it's a smell that's difficult to remove.
That's to test the incoming main, the actual grid on the floor doesn't get flushed. There's a lot of dead end pipes that can't be flushed.
Dry pipe systems are a thing. But not very common from my limited understanding.

Once I turned a suspicious faucet I shouldn't have and got a blast of this in the face.
