  My understanding is that disability aids like the buttons or ramps being liked by able bodied people is preferred because then it becomes more common. Similar to many people with gluten allergies benefiting from the gluten free trends. An automatic door harms no one and benefits a lot of people, why not make it more common?
context: I suspect people just like touching buttons, which is a slightly different motivation at least >
  
  This was my original motivation.  
  Then I had kids, and my hands were usually full.  
  Then COVID hit, and I was actively avoiding door handles.
  Now I'm back to doing it because I like to push buttons. >
  
  The moral part of your argument is weak because you aren’t hurting anyone by pressing that button. It’s not like parking in a handicapped spot >
  
  Every cycle of the mechanism that opens that door is wear and tear on the door. By using the mechanism when you don't have to, you are negatively impacting anyone who does need it because it may not work when they need it to.
  This is for an individual to decide for themselves, however. I'm never going to shame someone for using it because not all disabilities are visible. >
  
  It's a door though. It's meant to open and close a bunch. It's built to withstand wear and tear. If the one time a disabled person goes to use it it doesn't work then that's just really bad luck and not the fault of anyone before. >
  
  As someone who is disabled; seemingly able-bodied people benefiting from disability access in ways that do not harm disabled bodies is a non-issue. A lot of doors equipped with accessibility openers are heavy and it can be significantly more accessible for everyone to utilize the automatic function.
  Also; you have no way of knowing if the people using the button are able-bodied or not. Some people have invisible or episodic disabilities. I am one of the latter and even if I'm not currently using a mobility aid I still can't push most doors open.
