Default Lowering tube floors to allow wheelchair access?

Lowering the floor on the tube stock and using smaller wheels is dumb,
unrealistic and unworkable.

Why? Low-floor multiple units operate throughout Europe - some with
floors as low as a foot or so above rail level. Even the low-floor
bus is a recent invention (last 10 years or so).
