If it was an FHA requirement. Then the majority of homes with unfinished basements in my area would not be eligible for an FHA loan. Unless the basement happens to have an actual egress window (in my areas egress windows have to be of a minimum size with a minimum area in sq inches to allow reasonable egress and be low enough to climb out of. The typical basement window in my area is about 32" x 14" and is 7' above the floor. No way to egress from that window even if it is open.
