It's a general frustration to me when a translation picks a midrashic position as a way to translate a word with a broader plain meaning, and Artscroll does that a lot. It creates a more restrictive sense of the pshat which is misleading.
I'm not sure if non-Jews can live in violation of Torah law, since they aren't obligated to it (or not to most of it, anyway.)
