Let me now kill the dead horse.
225.32 Exception No. 3 applies to poles used as lighting standards. Light poles are typically only fed with a single branch circuit. This is no different than a detached garage with a single circuit. The difference is that the code goes out of its way to provide an exception for light poles because it is obvious that the way the code is written requires a means of disconnect no matter how many branch circuits there are. The code does not go out of its way to exempt a detached garage. It is required but you have chosen to selectively enforce the code.
