It feels like everyone argues that you don’t build your house for life anyway – so why should I base everything on that? In 30-40 years, I might not care, or you’ll find another solution by then. You can also have your garden adapted accordingly then.
Even as a young person, you benefit incredibly from accessibility and short distances. Steps and narrow spots are a nuisance with a stroller, stairs even more so. Steps you don’t even notice as an adult are already an obstacle for toddlers. And if you ever injure your ankle as an adult, you’ll also be glad you don’t have 20 meters to the garden to enjoy or 5 steps without a railing to climb.
Sometimes the property doesn’t allow for ergonomic and barrier-free building. But where it is possible, one should not willfully build obstacles with the justification "people are too fat anyway" (other people?). And in the specific case of , when we talk about "building for old age," we’re talking more about 10 years than 30.
