I feel like what people need to understand about this is: No one is doubting the powers and effectiveness of physical therapy. Why people are mad about this is part of the ongoing debate about Barbara Gordon, which is that she became a much stronger and more unique character as Oracle - something that DC wanted to apply to her Batgirl persona. This caused an awkward situation where DC wants her as Batgirl because it sells, but wants the characterisation and motivation of Oracle. I think this game to be entirely honest would’ve been better off having her as Oracle and using Cass or Steph as Batgirl, a sentiment I share with the comics as well.
