Looking at pictures here I now see why. I don't have air suspension, so it looks like the thing under the spare tire for me is not only hollow (vs. for air suspension cars it holds the compressor), but it's also smaller. I think I could fit my hand past that and turn the knob to disconnect, but looking at photos of other cars with air suspension, I agree there does not seem to be enough room.
I will give it a shot next time I take the spare tire out. This Hella thing is nice, but I'd be even happier with a more minimal solution here.
BTW, here's what we're talking about

But, I now actually think the best solution for me may have been to use one of those quick disconnect switches like this:
Battery Disconnect Switch
It looks like I would be able to reach through the wheel and turn the knob to enable/disable it. I have one of these on my old 911, which I don't drive so much, to keep the battery from discharging too much, and it has worked very well for many years now.
