I can appreciate the thought, because as a part time wheelchair user, it does often wear me down when I feel like I'm perpetually perched on the periphery of any conversation.
However, like you say, this is just far too impractical for most people. I have a small, active wheelchair, and even that would probably put me in front of friends sitting on the bench beside me.
However, I can totally believe that this was made in earnest. I've seen some ridiculous "accommodations" that are ostensibly for disabled people that just show that the able bodied designer just didn't involve any disabled people in the design process at all. And that's why "nothing about us, without us" is a long used slogan used by disability rights campaigners.
If anyone wants to see an example of good accessibility design, I love how they designed the packaging for the Xbox Accessible Controller. They included lots of people with varied needs across multiple stages of the design process, and it really shows. And the end product is so elegantly functional. I like this quote from Solomon Romney, a "Microsoft Retail Stores retail learning specialist":
Say what you will about Microslop, that controller was/is a pretty amazing thing.
What kills me about Microsoft, or any tech company, is that it is filled with brilliant people who could and would be doing so much more cool shit if they weren't beholden to joyless philistines.
