it's more nuanced that that.
many disabilities are permanent. and the healthy thing you can do is accept.
and look into the social model of disability. for example, a wheelchair bound person isn't blocked from the second for for lacking legs, bit rather because the building wasn't built to be accessible. having representation of disabled people will make them more visible and encourage more accessible infrastructure and actually making disabled people less disabled.

I think many do, that's why they exist. and based on many comments, the ones that don't like it is because it didn't go far enough.

serious question, how is "disabled people existing" and private corporations finding niche markets suddenly "woke"?

memes were always used everywhere.
this is the first time you see memes from the recent years applied into a recent conflict.

common people are definitely involved in your infrastructure is designed.
from electing officials who approve projects to whoever is in the design team.
plus, add the cirbcut effect, wherein accomodation for disabilities ends up being helpful and convenient to everyone.
and you are wrong about an absolutist statement of "they rather not be disabled". especially considering that in many aspects, it is society that disables them, and that can be fixed. but because of lack of representation, it is ignored instead.
