I'm not sure but I think has to do with parking the satellite in a lower orbit such that the atmospheric drag will force it to reenter within 25 years, not that the operator has 25 years to deorbit the satellite at some point.

I think this has to do with the amount of fuel the need to save to reach the disposal orbit.
