Yes exactly, some customisation will usually be needed. It's better to
find equipment and coping strategies in consideration of all an
individual's requirements.
As a crude allegory for example I may get more from a bicycle than a
car depending on a wide range of differing requirements, including
costs and fitness, even if it a stock item needs to be adapted for
hand power. However, categories do aid course selection and design.
Plus it leads back to a medical model of disability by thinking of
physical problems.
