Why temperature difference not more than 10 degrees
(OP)
I wonder what is the technical reason that the temperature indoors should not be less than 10 degrees of the temperature outdoors. If the temperature outside is, for example , 95 degrees then the temperature inside should be 85 but that is still unconfortable. Dont you think so guys ?

I do not know where you got your number "not less than 10 degrees indoor/outdoor".
But lets say someone said number should be 15 degrees then you'd be more comfortable (using your example).
Seems to me that, not less than means it can always be greater than.
Whats your question?

b> thermal shock. I've gone from 90° outside temp to 65° interior temp and, at least for me, I get a thermal shock, because the drastic temperature change is aggravated by the apparent windchill within the building.

More or Less?
Your header question states More than
But your post talks of less than? Which is it?
IRstuff: I will agree that a temperature drop you describe can be a bit shocking to some people. But then coming in from 103 outside to 78 (25) can feel real good. You ever been to Nevada or Arizona in the summer? Remember when you was a kid and played in the water on a real hot day. How cold do you think that water was. Maybe 20-30 degrees different than the air temp, but did you even care. I bet NO!
Temperature comfort is a personal & metaphysical thing. In my office a co-worker is constantly too warm, while Iam too cold so I wear a jacket he uses a fan.
No matter what temperature you maintain, someone will not be comfortable with it. Be prepared..

My mother always claimed that was bad for your health, and while I ignored much of her advice at the time, much of the other stuff that she was touting 30 yrs ago, such as the benefits of tea, have recently been borne out.
I think that under the conditions described, the office environment winds up too dry, because the absolute humidity is too low. This dries out skin and sinuses, so there are associated dermatitis and potentially other dry skin conditions. Likewise with drier sinuses.
I've noticed that my office building's A/C has been mucked with so much over the years that the office temperatures are all rather random, but the hallways are always chilly during hot days.

Otherwise, the only situation I could think of where the 10 F requirement might apply is a building using evaporative cooling.

I have seen some DDC controlled systems where the room temperature sensors looked like t-stats but actually were not able to affect the temp setting, that was controlled from the control program in the computer. People would think they were setting the temp to what they wanted but actually they were not.
