I couldn't care less if there is a disabled character in a fantasy game. But it does beg the question: why would there be a magic character who relies on a real-world wheelchair when they presumably have magical abilities that would eliminate their disability, and why would that be someone's fantasy?
That being said, it's fantasy. You're allowed to do virtually anything you want. It's up to the DM to accommodate their players.
It may simply not be a disability in their eyes. If you can use magic your ability isn't as grounded in your own physical ability. A fighter sure, but there are other classes that may not have a desire to "fix" what we would consider to be disabling!
This would almost certainly be similar to how people on the autism spectrum feel vs how people who don't, expect them to feel.
