Isn't the main purpose to prevent getting shocked, particularly where there
is a potential for a wet area?
I have had GFI outlets and breakers for years and never a problem with
tripping, when they weren't supposed to trip. And I run full power at times
from 10-160M. Once a year I use the GFI tester to check that they are all
working.

One has to wonder, for all the trouble these things have caused, how many
fires they've actually prevented.
