Because it's discriminatory to prevent them access to areas simply due to their disabilities. I'm not sure about the US, but in Europe there are laws that require wheelchair access be provided; as it should be, in my opinion.
Seems to me that you simply don't believe that their special circumstances deserve special consideration. I think you're wrong, but you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. On a related note, I just hope you never become disabled yourself through accident or disase, and have to face a world like the one you seem to support now.
