Funny how no one can say where the appliance outlet is located.

This has been answered multiple times--it's where the wiring transitions from the "premises wiring" to the wiring internal to the "utilization equipment." It's the boundary between the two.

Manufacturer instructions say their equipment does not connect to an outlet when hardwired

They don't have the ability to do that. The NEC tells you that there is an outlet for any piece of utilization equipment.

the human interaction has been removed and there is no technical merit that any hazard exists on hardwired utilization equipment.

Apparently the CMP disagrees. But you have the opportunity to submit a PI to try to convince them of your point of view.

You said it yourself.

In terms of the definition of an outlet, my understanding is that it refers specifically to a point in the wiring system where current is taken to supply utilization equipment.

We are not going to beat this into the ground any more.
