Because that honestly depends on the disability, on the barriers it causes, and whether those barriers would make the person suffer even in ideal social circumstances. A good rule of thumb is that if there is pain or death involved, it’s OK to advocate for a cure - at least a cure for the painful and terminal parts.

If someone gains a disability later in life, they are more likely to want it gone. If they are born with it, they’re much, much less likely to want it cured.

It’s not OK to advocate for a cure for neurodivergence or intellectual disability, things that people are born with, and can only be “cured” by aborting any fetus found to have it.
