I know what you mean and I don't like it personally. At any rate, you should make the owner aware that it is not your decision to make.
If it's not an oversight of the CMP it seems that the objection is to the outlet itself, not the equipment. There is no mention of GFCI being required for hardwired equipment BTW.
