Many teaching labs have a single “waste” hood which are kept on 24/7 to maintain some airflow through the room. They may not achieve 4 ACH that way, but teaching labs do have good control over when there is active chemical use in the lab. I suppose why this is an NFPA recommendation rather than a requirement.
