I don’t think you quite understand why this area is regulated at all: precisely because disabled people are too small a minority to have that kind of power.
The disabled being denied access to critical infrastructure is a market failure†. That’s why there is a discussion about regulation.
It would be super great if everything could be solved by the market (politicians tend to be clumsy, not the brightest and not super efficient), sadly I cannot see that being possible. A world in which the market solves everything neatly along our moral views would be pretty awesome, I just don’t think that’s the world we live in.
I want market solutions to as many problems as possible and will happily accept them whenever they exist. If they don’t, however, I’m more than happy to begrudgingly accept a regulatory approach.

† Underlying this is the assumption that the disabled should not be violated in their human dignity. If you do not share this view then you might arrive at different conclusions and I don’t think I want to talk to you any further.
