Because it's the law and is their actual legal responsibility? Take it up with lawmakers if you think that's ridiculous, but generally most western societies have (rightly imho) decided that disabled people should have the ability to get around and that businesses need to accommodate that. Since the airlines won't let passengers take their own wheelchairs on board, then they need to assist those passengers in getting to their wheelchairs.
