This is a solid argument from the premises, but one of the unspoken premises is that people should live independently or in small nuclear families. Disabled people have fewer accessibility issues when they are integrated into larger social units. Most ableist discrimination is ultimately exclusion from the social participation that is the mechanism of human mutuality. Handicapped people are excluded from reaping the benefits of human cooperation at the local level: trying to fix that with commodities and government stipends soothes some symptoms without solving the root problem: our society implicitly excludes people who need it most.
My opinion is that everyone would be better off in larger living groups where everyone contributes labor for others. To each according to their need, from each according to their ability' and all that nonsense. I understand that this idea is considered ridiculous and naive by prevailing wisdom, but whatever /shrug
