Being an electrician in the early 30s age range I do tend to think the whole situation can be very misleading. I started at the end of the 16th, so installed lighting etc with no RCDs but all sockets with. That has developed into what we have now, RCDs for everything. The issue being the whole way through college or on various regs course or the 2391. You are constantly told to cover your own bottom and to follow industry guidance. I do tend to agree that the risk level of a socket without RCD is very low however if you've spent your entire working life being told otherwise. Then i can understand why the majority of electricians would code it a C2. 

I do agree that a lot of guidance may well have vested interests behind it but actually if anything un-towards did happen then you have done your due diligence by following best practise etc.
