So Taplow is within the GLA's bailiwick, bur Watford is not!

No, the services operated by TfL are. The GLA has no direct ownership
or responsibility of the infrastructure.

.. in Hertfordshire as is any part of the DC/WCML north of the county
boundary between Hatch End and Carpenders Park.
There is nothing new about local government bodies (in this case TfL)
having responsibilities outwith their boundaries, the main prior
railway example being the Metropolitan Line past the boundary north of
Northwood. Long-standing non-railway examples include the City of
London with parks and housing outwith the capital or in pre-NHS days
many county hospitals located in neighbouring counties.
