Being bad at games isn't a disability.

Say that to the person that has lost an arm and is playing with a special controller

There are plenty of videos showing people beating the game using one hand with disability controllers as well as entirely with voice controls or controllers that were specifically designed to be as stupid as possible (like bananas).

Difficulty is not the same as accessibility.

Remapping the inputs so they can be done with one hand is not the same as "you get twice as much health and mana".
