Requirements for AFDD's on new installations following amendment 2?

Following the amendment to Regulation 421.1.7

This now states that AFDD protection for socket outlets and fixed current using equipment is now "required" rather than recommended. I was wanting to know peoples thoughts on this, as currently an RCBO/AFDD is coming in at around £100 each, meaning cost implications on new consumer units will be huge. The cost doesn't directly affect us as contractors but more the end user. This could possibly put people off the idea of upgrading their consumer unit, no matter how dangerous the existing one currently is.
