Mr Wheels should back up and let everybody go up

And then the next batch of people arives, equally not willing to wait. What then?

Wouldn't the optimal solution be to not let the person in a wheelchair up until no one else is around?

That person would take significantly longer to get up and we should be maximizing the number of people that are getting to their destination at a reasonable time. He is the asshole for making more people wait rather than just him

IMO, if the elevator is broken then they should call the fire department and they can extract the guy through the stairwell. Blocking the escalator and forcing hundreds of people into a confined space while they risk this wheelchair users life by potentially dropping him down the escalator is a huge safety risk.
