The problem comes from trying to explain it to the customer.
You can justify GFI's , smoke detectors, enclosed closet lights (luminaires) and even AFCI's when the bugs are worked out. Even bubble covers could be justified.
But, try to explain why a house in a retirement center needs tamper proof receptacles behind the refrigerater, or for the garbage disposal. Then there are the countertop receptacles that were placed to accomodate the short appliance cords so the kids couldn't pull the coffee pot on their heads. The laundry receptacle behind the washing machine.
Explain why an outside GFI receptacle would need the tamperproof cover.
Tamper proof, why ?
So the manufacturer could make more money.
So the supply house could make more money.
So the contractor can make more money.
Tell that to your customer.
I'm sure they will understand.
Let us know how that works for you.
