It's ableist because it basically uses a person with a disability as the "lower bound" of what should be possible for everyone else. It's saying "If this guy with no legs can live a regular life, then anybody can" as if missing your legs is meant to be borderline life-ending.

It also assumes that only visible disabilities/struggles count as real problems people face. Although that's more just bullshit than specifically ableist.
