Actually it's *because* of their potential need/use. All of us will be
less than able-bodied one day; we might be glad of that ramp, or
handrail, or large toilet cubicle, or easy to operate tap handle, or low
light switch, or, or or...

They don't inconvenience able-bodied people (in fact are usually easier
for able-bodied people to use, too) and generally cost no more than the
discriminatory alternative. Unless they are forgotten until the last
minute or have to be retrofitted, then they may cost more or be less
than optimally designed.

Regards, K.
