Gee, I wonder how the manufacturers managed to convince the NEC to add a new Class and Article.

I agree. We need to sell this new product and now lets get it in the Code. There was a new product called "low voltage suspended ceiling DC power" that puts DC power on suspended ceiling grids and then you have taps that plug in for lighting. How common is that product.
There are other new products as well, that result in new articles. Like Modular Data Centers.

It is already being used by some hotels and sports arenas, so it needed to go in the code.

Well, at least it is a new method that doesn't rely on Ethernet networks and CAT cables.

Reading the article it was a good decision. PoE looked like it was getting out of hand.
