If 13A sockets on a lighting circuit is compliant, what's to stop one putting an entire floor of 13A sockets on a 6A 1mm2 radial?

Nothing, if that's appropriate for the intended use, though I'd
struggle to think of one. A load of sockets for phone charging in a
coffee shop maybe?

I have a 6A protected radial socket circuit here. It feeds my comms
cabinet and is deigned to support the broadband routers, network switch,
NAS, PABX and other similar kit.

Even if someone really decided it was sensible to plug a fan heater into
one of the sockets, the worst they could do is trip the MCB.

Otherwise, it doesn't comply with the regs as you haven't selected a
suitable design for the expected use of the installation.

For the OPs situation that is not a problem though is it?
