It's not just about physical access to a building. There are many, many jobs that require certain physical abilities. You'll often see them listed on a US job application like this: "Must be able to lift 100 pounds unassisted." The wording is carefully chosen to indicate a job requirement rather than a personal health or wellness requirement.

For example, I've seen senior IT-Helpdesk postings requiring lifting of 40 pounds, where the duties listed are otherwise non-physical.
