The A stock partially solved it by having a floor higher than the platform

these
fictitious wheelchair users who are flocking to the tube in droves (not) now
its being made more accessable that clearly isn't possible.

Perhaps more of them will, once the stations at *both* ends of their
journeys are accessible?

There are plenty of journeys available already. Has anyone seen someone in
a wheelchair on the tube yet?

Why are you so focussed on wheelchairs ? Plenty of people have problems
with steps who aren't in chairs. (and steps from platform across a
ruddy great gap into a train, or vice versa, still count as steps).
