Even in a 'normal' electrical installation the leakage current gradually increases over time.......
If the rate of rise of the leakage current is faster in the present case, than that in a 'normal' electrical installation,it would become a ground fault or a short circuit faster......
Just because it is normal for insulation to break down does not mean it is safe when it does.
Current flowing where it does not belong and proteting people from the effects of it is the whole intent of Class A GFCI protection.
