I don't see why this seen as a problem. I see it as an improvement.
It's a bigger problem when the NEC has a different definition than that of several other standards.
Nothing here mentions licensing, although it can be used if you are in a state that licenses electricians.
Let's say you are in a no license state, and someone wants to use 110-27, 31, or 34 to justify unlocked equipment or rooms.
They might say "everyone here is qualified". I hear that one occasionally.
Now an inspector will have more help from the NEC if they do not want to approve the situation.
