this question is inside a mentor guide at the place i work for someone to be signed off as a fully competent electrician.
none of us can think of any reason why this may be the case, can anyone else?

It's four years since the 18th Edition was introduced in 2018 and the C&G qualification updated to cover the 18th Edition.
So assuming the competent people have updated their qualifications and Wiring Regulations books it seems reasonable to expect them to know there has been an issue with installing RCD sockets for the last four years.
They are again listed in the latest amendment, but not for fault protection, only additional protection.
So they cannot be used to provide fault protection on those extension leads.
Like the hokey cokey they have been in, out and back in again but with limitations.
