It may be a good policy for Home Depot, but I would want the installer to make the water connection.

Strange. I bought a refrigerator up north from Home Depot and they completely installed it. Maybe it’s State by State or the manager of your store just does not want to take the responsibility. Do you know if the people who came to install it were Home Depot employees or were they third party subcontractors? That could be the case.
