And there is a cost, in time, annoyance, lack of being able to speak clearly, glasses fogging... The cost is small, but not zero. The benefit is not zero, but arguably small. Bigger than the cost? Most people don't think so.

Using wheelchairs would prevent falls for young, healthy, normally abled people. The nuisance factor, efficiency, etc., though, imposes too high a cost for the marginal gain from reduced fall injuries.
