This is a devil's advocate argument, but the difference is between one person who routinely uses the drug versus another who may go for years before needing to use it in an emergency situation.
The EpiPen is designed to be used with minimal training. A diabetic who injects themselves regularly with insulin is presumed to have the skill to do it without screwing it up.

You take off the cap, push it against the skin, and press a button. The slightly tricky part is loading the injector which would presumably be done by the patient well ahead of it actually being used.
