I like how you edited this to add "at work" after folks provided examples of it happening outside of work. If you'd like a slightly more work adjacent example, see the rampant increase in IEPs for students in the bay area. (I'm sure that the increased time for tests provided in many of these cases is not being abused at all...)

Contextually, it was always about being at work.

The entire conversation I have focused on work accommodations. I suppose I thought it was clear.

The bar for getting an accommodation at work has been higher than many other places (like bringing an emotional support animal to a store).

I can't speak to schools, that is also another very delicate social dynamic that has different incentives on how to handle these things than a place of business does.
