Completely ridiculous. If job X requires the ability to do Y then there is no “fair” other than to take everyone capable of doing Y and only those capable of doing Y without regard to anything else.
People have enough problems without job X being staffed by more people incapable of doing job X.
Lowering these kinds of physical standards means you end up with people incapable of carrying their equipment.
