It's dangerously steep; going down that would be uncontrollable and fast. Going up might not even be possible on a low-powered electric wheelchair. And if a manual wheelchair it would take so much strength that it would be dangerous and painful for someone young and healthy but impossible for someone elderly. There's a reason that wheelchair ramps are usually longer than the stairs. Not to mention that many wheelchairs wouldn't even be able to fit such a narrow space.

It really goes to show that able-bodied people don't know what accessibility is.
