Death by "toaster in the bath" - how much water before you survive?

IIRC, most building codes in the US specify that all electrical outlets within six feet of a bathtub or within three feet of a sink must be GFCI. Doesn’t that greatly reduce the risk of electrocution? Otherwise, why bother putting it in the code?

In the UK, you are not allowed to put anything other than a shaver socket in this area. Of course, that doesn’t stop people from running an extension lead in there.
