If by "not even hard" you mean "costs as much as a car", then sure. My friend also let me know just how costly power chairs are.

I'll echo the words of my friend, who is a permanent wheelchair user:
"Yes, I identify with my disability as part of who I am, but I would still take a cure without hesitation"
Yes, people with disabilities identify with their disability, so even in a fantasy setting I can see how their disability would be part of their character.
But every disabled person I know would figuratively leap at the opportunity to reverse their disability with magic. It is also basically impossible to use a wheelchair while holding something like a wand or a staff or a fireball in one hand, so if there's enough magic around to push a wheelchair, there's probably enough to make your legs work. That's why somebody has a good reason not to expect a wheelchair in a fantasy world. I can see how somebody who doesn't really know any disabled people would panic at the idea of a wheelchair being part of the narrative or something like that, and I can sympathize with it.
How come it landed directly on him and barely did more damage than a bootleg firework???
Change. Change is ruffling people's feathers. They want what they are used to, and the new thing is unequivocally evil.
I like zap way
Groups are just that fundamental to human psychology.

This Kurzgesacht video actually touches on it.
"Minor inconvenience"
Of course not. The fingerless gloves are also niche, boutique, and premium.
At face value I do get where you're coming from, but this is standard practice, and I'm happy to provide the evidence you are looking for, because it's important that the truth comes out and I respect you for asking for it.
IDF officers and investigators intentionally cover up murders and abuse, even when leaked internal correspondences admit the killings were totally unjustified and offer alternative explanations to be given to the press.
The Guardian’s correspondent in Israel, Chris McGreal, wrote about a conversation he had with the Israeli military commander in southern Gaza at the time, Colonel Pinhas “Pinky” Zuaretz. The Colonel both admits that his troops murder children for no reason, and implies it's necessary to prevent the Holocaust from happening again. In court, he claimed the whole of southern Gaza was a combat zone and anyone who entered parts of it had made themselves a target.
Also from the article: “An Israeli army officer [who] emptied the magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl, Iman al-Hams, and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old, was cleared by a military court. [The girl] was shot and wounded after crossing the invisible red line around an Israeli military base in Rafah, but she was never any closer than 100 yards. The officer then left the base in order to "confirm the kill" by pumping the wounded girl full of bullets. An Israeli military investigation concluded he had acted properly.”
Then you are extremely lucky, as am I. I have enough money saved up that I took a break.
However, something like 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and just don't have that option. The threat of poverty is constantly chasing them. When you're in that situation, you will take the best option available even if it's garbage or next to garbage.
One of them is a well known journalist.
I went to a NTID school, the community there does not consider themselves to have a "disability" literally. To them, it's just a language.
