I do not see bathrooms listed in 210.12A as requiring AFCI protection?
BTW, I have the 2020 Handbook and 210.12A does not provide a list of required locations? This must be a misprint?
 
This is a photo of my 2020 Handbook. Am I missing something?

Seems like the 2020 handbook missed a lot so it's not your fault. From the 2020 Code Book 210.12(A) is a little different:

210.12 Arc-Fault _Circuit-Interrupter _ Protection. Arc-fault
circuit-interrupter protection shall be provided as required in
210.12(A), (B), (C), and (D). The arc-fault circuit interrupter
shall be installed in a readily accessible location.
(A) Dwelling Units. All 120-volt, single-phase, 15- and 20-
ampere branch circuits supplying outlets or devices installed in
dwelling unit kitchens, family rooms, dining rooms, living
rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation
rooms, closets, hallways, laundry areas, or similar rooms or
areas shall be protected by any of the means described in
210.12(A()1 ) through (6):

Not seeing bathrooms, attics and outdoor receptacles.

Where did you get the handbook...a lot of counterfeit NFPA products out there. It is almost $300 from the NFPA...if you paid a lot less, you will likely find a lot more issues, even missing pages.

I believe you quoted the wrong person, it's not my question.
