I really need more info why the flexible hose is not permitted here.

Temperature

Nope. If it got that hot around the oven then surely the worktops and
adjecant units would have to be of some non-flammable construction.


IIRC solid piping was required for some commercial catering equipment to
prevent things being moved out from under flue hoods where applicable. I
wonder if this is based on the same logic.

Doubt it as it's a built in oven which doesn't require any extraction
and the required kitchen extraction isn't required by CORGI so it has
nothing to do with gas ovens. Even if there was extraction in the
kitchen it isn't neccesarily over the oven.
