code for plumbing supply lines v electrical lines?

When my plumbers were here last week putting in the in floor rough, and my electrician was putting in my recessed cans for the kitchen (all in the same joist space), the plumbers said they had to make sure they were at least 12" from the electrical...

Today, I have to finish placing boxes and pulling the lines that my electrician will finish later. But, I am wondering if this "code" exists for the bathroom walls too?

If so, how does anyone ever get outlets near their vanities? I am finding it difficult to find a space 12" from any water supply line in this very crowded wall.
