Lol... Agreed Steve but in this case i tend to think of it as the lawyer state
rather than nanny state. (WAs so boggled by this sort of thing at one point
that I put a label on my 6" bench vise that says 'caution - do not eat'. ).
I don't think fusing the main house bank cable is such a terrible idea, ( over
the years I have been occasionally startled by big sparks when wrenching,
troubleshooting or using a steel fish tape - and not always carelessly) to your
point though, marinas are not exactly plagued by unfused boats spontaneously
combusting...

The nanny state invading our sailboats.
"...connections of less than 7 inches..." Really?
I don't see the need for fuses in the cables between the batteries and the
selector switch. There is a difference between careful and paranoid.
The U.S. coast guard inspected a friend of mine's sailboat, and among other
things, told him that he was required to have nylon lock nuts on his lead
battery post connectors.
Good grief.
