Companies are routinely forced to serve people per the ADA and CRA. There are various rationales for them; I favor them because they cause a degree of integration that helps to disrupt identity politics.
I think, beyond that, if a company has clearly advertised terms of service and sticks to them (it should be possible to sue a company for violating its stated policies) then they should be able to reject customers if they want. Especially, it's often a reasonable engineering/business tradeoff to not support a customer over delivering a buggy product.
