I apologize for assuming you weren't disabled yourself, I misunderstood the tone of your comment to imply that you aren't actually disabled.

Sounds a lot like having a disability. They aren't allowed to discriminate, but they find ways around it.

The commenter could have ADHD or some other disadvantage outside of their control. Imagine applying what you said to someone in a wheelchair—“making it accessible to you would ruin the magic.” Gross.

Having a disability doesn't necessarily mean that the person is wheelchair bound.
