Is there an NEC code that states that a panel marked "suitable for use as service equipment" can not be used as a subpanel?

so the only problem that could be then would be that the item itself is not suitable for anything else but service equipment?

this panel would have a neutral bar that is factory bonded
Yes that is correct except where jumper noted for detached structure. Point here-- 2014 does not require the said disconnect to be rated for service equipment anymore unless it is an existing setup where there are only 3 conductors run to the structure
Was that from one of your code proposals?
225.36 Suitable for Service Equipment. The disconnecting means specified in 225.31 shall be suitable for use as service equipment.
Exception: For garages and outbuildings on residential property, a snap switch, or a set of 3-way or 4-way snap switches, or other approved non service rated disconnect shall be permitted as the disconnecting means.
