Countertop Receptacle

Looking in the the code book ( 2023 ) in Part 3 Required Outlets. Article 210.52 , Island and Peninsular countertop and work surfaces. There is no mention of receptacles below work surfaces. In the workbook for 2008 Peninsular countertop spaces exception to ( 5 ). It says receptacles mounted below countertop shall not be located where the countertop extends more than 6 inches beyond support base. Was this exception taken out of the 2023 code cycle and for what reason or am I just not finding.

As of the 2023 NEC Island/Peninsula receptacles are optional but If receptacles are installed they are no longer permitted to be below the countertop. See 210.52(C)3 for permitted locations.
