Yes, because only the able-bodied should be able to enjoy the richness of the region.

You can simply drive to the rim. The entire path around the rim is paved and handicap-accessible. You can take a mule into the canyon. It's difficult to get to only in the sense that you must drive for several hours from any nearby city to reach the area.

Exactly, it's remote but it's not inaccessible. The same is true of Yosemite, Death Valley, Yellowstone, Arches, etc.
