So, if it is an emergency when a powered aircraft loses power and is forced
to land, why would it not also be an emergency when a sailplane is unable to
connect to its source of power and is forced to land?

Because in a sailplane, at any given moment outlanding is just your plan B.

In a Cezzna, a possible outlanding in the event of engine failure should
always be plan B as well. Judging by the number of times that Cezzna
pilots faced with an outlanding f*ck it up they don't think enough about
plan B.
