Like all outlets, even those with contacts rated for 15A, GFCIs are rated
for
20A feed-through so can be put on 20A circuits without problems.


Look again. Not all outlets are rated for 20 amps.


You're *wrong*. The outlets rated for 15A are rated for 20A feed-through.
Their contacts may be rated for 15A (all vertical-contact-only outlets are
15A), but they will be 20A feed-through so they *can* be used on a 20A
circuit.
