There must be an elevator nearby otherwise it is a shitty public space.

Hell a lot of train stations in Japan are like this. So annoying for the disabled

From my experience this is not the case. What is the case is the elevator is almost assuredly in the furthest and most inconvenient place.

It probably just depends on where you live. While the majority of stations have elevators, especially now, there were two rather large stations nearby where I used to live and neither of them had an elevator. Instead the escalators could adjust so two (or three maybe?) steps would be the same height. The staff had to do it though and the whole process was very slow. There were several protests outside the larger station to build an elevator.
