This Emergency disconnect thing was stupid IMO, at least only having it apply to dwellings was stupid, and has created other compatibility problems. Sounds like they may straighten some of that out in 2026.
But why is this a problem for dwellings and not other occupancies?
It was supposedly for firefighters. Many cases you get some fair idea where the service disconnect is at dwellings (before these rules came along) as it is often at/near the meter or nearly directly inside behind the meter location.
Firefighters don't need to find the service disconnect(s) at non dwellings? Larger non dwellings may very well have fire sprinklers and maybe that lessens the need for exterior emergency disconnect some, but not all non dwellings have fire sprinklers either.
