Is this a code change I'm not aware of? Unless something has changed, only
outlets in "unfinished" parts of the basement have to be GFCI protected

No, you are correct; sorry.
But isn't that a bit strange? Why would they be required in unfinished, but
not finished? Better insulation on the floor?

Presumably because an unfinished basement is more likely to have water on
the floor, and a finished basement probably implemented measures to prevent
this..
