> Sorry to hear about your condition, and while I think society can decide to accommodate to some conditions, I disagree with that idea that it "should accommodate". It is a common decision, and sometimes the answer will be "no, we don't accommodate for that, sorry". In the end, everything has a cost (being it effort, resources, time, etc.).

This falls apart when you realize this isn't just a consistent percentage of the population. It's a large portion of the population at different portions of their lives. It's something like 90% of adults will be disabled in their lives.

How many times have you lost your phone, or broken it without an immediately available backup?

I've heard in the US adults spend >10% of their life sick or otherwise incapacitated.

I don't remember the exact percentage, but it was much higher than I would have expected the mean to be.
