Becasuse "disabled" means "can't do anything".
My vision is poor. Some things are harder for me to do such as finding specific locations in very large places (like the right platform in a massive train station), and there are some things I can't do/aren't allowed to do, such as drive a car.
But I'm certainly not disabled. I've always refused to describe myself as disabled. If I had been blind, I probably would have, because then there's a MASSIVE amount of things I wouldn't be able to do without some form of assistance.
