This incompatibility is especially pertinent in the context of home appliances, which are subject to continuously updated, mandator

Yeah, discussed elsewhere also. See this PI 1802-NFPA 70-2023, which references this TIA.
I'd like to see either side show real cost/benefit numbers rather than just positional arguments.
And look at alternative ways to achieve the same safety goals, where a safety issue can be demonstrated.

I am in the process of transitioning to "Insulting Work" ... If I was still doing contracting, I would think about putting a disclaimer on the invoices "After Gound Fault Circuit Interrupters or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters are installed per code, we will only under our warranty respond once without charge".
