Why: Section 91.211(a)(3) requires each occupant to be provided with supplemental oxygen above a cabin pressure altitude of 15,000 feet MSL. The required crew must use oxygen the entire time above 14,000 feet.

Huh, didn't know that: Provided with oxygen means available. The rule for passengers is about providing it, not using it.
