Yes. Consider an industrial plant near an airport that wipes out the ILS system or inhibits ATC or law enforcement comms. The section of Part 15 that says no harmful interference will most certainly come into play as the affected users are licensed operations. The exemption lies in the radiated field strength (they're neither Class B or Class A devices that have field strength limits) but they still may not cause interference to licensed operations.

Lee   K7TJR   OR

The FCC has not generally tried to interpret things as appliances that are not. 
The devices are still subject to the requirement that the operator of the 
device not cause harmful interference.
