Is there any reason a circuit fed in t&e, protected by an RCBO, can not be clipped to a accessible surface feeding a socket

T&E cable has been surface mounted on walls for about 75 years covered by an OCPD. RCBOs and RCDs are relatively new.
We often now clip T&E inside garden sheds and if done correctly can look reasonably neat.
Remember, T&E cable doesn't cope too well with axe wielding fruit cases throwing wobblies because somebody's nicked their prize carrots but then very few other cable systems can withstand that level of madness.
So generally not suitable without protection when used for industrial purposes.
