Most of us are "disabled" to some degree (i.e. there's some normal ability which we completely suck at) but physical disabilities are more obvious and striking to the casual observer so it's easy and rather lazy for people to think "he's disabled and I'm not". Whether or not the intention is there, this still diminishes and marginalizes the person with a physical disability.
