Can an additional GFI receptacle be installed inside an enclosed vanity cabinet that is closer than 3ft to an adjacent bathtub?

I have personally done it since the code change in 2020. I installed an outlet down low in the vanity for some led strip lights the customer was wanting to install later on. The receptacle was also operated off of a switch and was gfi protected of course. I can’t find an exact code reference for this unfortunately.
