Those require GFCI only for receptacle outlets, not all outlets.
The Commentary in the handbook discuss that yes, as you said... the receptacles suppling portable or fixed in place cord and plug charging systems require GFCI. However, it also states, in agreement with you, that direct connected systems are not required to have GFCI unless specified by the manufacturer.
To add: every hard-wired EVSE that I’m aware of includes integral GFCI and do not require GFCI protection of the supplying circuit. Some even say not to use an additional GFCI. There may be some that I haven’t looked at.
