Because it would have to be at the front of the plane and for most airlines, that is where First Class is. Peons are not allowed to use the FC bathrooms.

Oh most likely why, but how do they get away with it? You think in this day and age where things are more accessible it would change.

Airlines have gotten away with way too much regarding ADA issues - I’m not sure why.

not really.
Simply, if the wait for Rise was 15minutes, people wouldn't pay $25 to ride it. Disney is doing everything they can to engineer long queues, and charging double for daily park entry.
Miserable standby waits = more $ for WDW.

Unfortunately, paying for LL is probably your best option, especially for MK and HS. Your other option is to skip some attractions, especially some of the individually priced attractions.
It will also be helpful if you can use peripheral park hours, both the early morning and the evening park hours with maybe an afternoon break/nap to make it work.
Most of us on this forum try to zig when the crowd zags. Reading threads on the topic of avoiding crowds will help give you some strategies. A simple one is to eat meals at off-times, especially lunch if possible.
Another option is to spend more of your time doing the things that do not get a long wait.
Probably because outside of employment issues, airlines aren't covered by the ADA. There is an act that covers them, (Air Accessibility or something like that), but no idea why there wouldn't be a requirement for larger restrooms on at least some planes.
Here's a good article from last year that I just found re: accessible restrooms on planes:

Airlines Will Be Required to Make Bathrooms More Accessible
Single-aisle planes will face new rules from the U.S. Department of Transportation—but they won’t go into effect for more than a decade

I think most conditions have an exponentially increasing risk.
In a 10 minute line (or ride) the risk of an issue is very low, say 5%.
In a 20 minute line it’s still relatively low, but doubles to say a 10% chance of an issue.
By 30 minutes you’re now doubled again to a 20% risk, at 40 minutes it’s a 40% risk, at 50 minutes you’re now at 80% risk, at an hour it’s essentially guaranteed an issue will occur.
There’s a risk in even the shortest line (or ride) but it’s very unlikely, it become’s far more likely as more time in that situation occurs.
Ooof. I mean at least it’s movement, but over a decadeHere's a good article from last year that I just found re: accessible restrooms on planes:

Airlines are not governed by the ADA.

That’s why I said “ADA issues” clearly it’s legal, cause they are flying. But the ADA issues clearly exist on Airlines in America.
