tamper resistant receptacles where required in dwelling

Agreed, the time you spend figuring out what goes where, you already spent your savings per outlet. The amount in a residence that would not be TR is not that much at all, so in my mind non-TR outlets are a thing of the past.

We have one municipality here that amends them out.

I've seen many places with TR receptacles and the occupants still plug in those child protective plastic caps that have been around forever.

When I install TRR's.
I recommend additional protection to my customers with little kids.
When TR receptacles first became required I saw this as a possible law suite on me if one of my customers injured themselves from sticking something in the TRR.

If someone (kid) can figure out how to defeat the TR in the receptacle, they obviously would know how to remove the little protective plugs? I think you're worrying for nothing.

I know that don't take much effort for either.
But at least I CYA.and didn't give them a false sense of security.
You know this. As long as it's stabbed in simultaneously you can breach the receptacle.

Older L...n devices foiled most attempts even then.

Lawsuit attempt, people will do that over anything. The fact you installed what was required by code, that was likely adopted as a law in your jurisdiction is supposedly what should get you out of having a judgement against you. If they still want to file further lawsuit they may need to try to sue either the lawmakers that adopted that edition of NEC or even NFPA or device manufacturer. Not saying it will be a success for them but it goes beyond you for the source of the issue.
