That's electricians for you - no imagination. In many cases it's easier to
access a lighting circuit than the ring due to the position.

They're better of on the ring, when the bulb blows it doesn't take a
32A MCB out, it more than likely will on a 6A, or with any other minor
fault type condition.

You still need an isolator though, and if the destructions say 3A fuse
max, a 6\10A MCB won't do, and technically invalidates the warranty.

And just how would they know what fuse was fitted?

I did say technically. Although if one of the manufacturers happened
to send an engineer out, then....
And yes, I know it's very unlikely but technically.
