I don't mind the wheelchair being in my lane if it can keep up, can it? If not stay on the sidewalk.
What if "it" travels faster than a pedestrian but slower than other motorized vehicles? (aka bikes) Where do
they belong? Given your logic it certainly isn't on the roads...
Maybe the ADA needs a "Take the (Bike) Lane" PSA campaign.
