How to Remove Ceiling Tile

Right; I was going at it from a common-sense standpoint, not a legal regulation standpoint.

Cannot a homeowner still do their own abatement though, even if asbestos is known to be present? (not that it's relevant to me; I had a ceiling similar to the OP, demo'd it in a day. Done. That's about the only stuff I have around here that looks to be potentially asbestos-containing, save for the floor tile in the basement that I also already removed...)

Have your heart stop in your sleep. People still do just quit.

Mist the tiles with a little water from a spray bottle to keep the asbestos from becoming airborne, and you should be fine. Just put any debris, and the wet rag you wipe everything down with afterward, in a plastic bag and put it in the household garbage.
