This also confused me at first, but the OP didn’t actually mention a scenario that combined ED with getting off a waitlist. The two different scenarios are:

  1. Student applies ED to School A, and is accepted. The student subequently backs out of their ED commit for unspecified reasons.
  2. Student applies non-binding to Schools B and C, is accepted to B and waitlisted for C. The student deposits at B, is then accepted to C off the WL, withdraws from B and deposits at C.
