that's for an RF ground, and your periodic field strength measurements would tell you if there's a problem with the connection. And, it's a system that is regularly maintained and inspected. If it doesn't work, nobody dies.

The safety ground has a different set of assumptions, essentially, no maintenance, no inspection for life.
