If you have any other pics, such as the lid handle or the wheels we can narrow it down a bit more.

How and why does the lid get blacks spots like that?

Looks great! Congrats!  It looks like the owner spay bombed spots to keep rust away. That will all clean up easy. You can touch it up with red high heat paint later if you wish.

From use.  The steel at the welds by the handles changes it's crystalline structure a bit, due to heat from welding. Same goes for the area around the bowl welds. This causes the steel in those areas to expand & contract slightly differently which causes the enamel coating to crack, letting moisture into those areas, causing rust, which causes the enamel to separate from the steel substrate.

That's the simple reason.

@Darko is a smart dude! Do you think that is why they started the taco handle?

Some of that looks like it could be rustoleum.
