It's Marvel. Give it some time and he'll be back in the wheelchair again.
Okay, but talking about this seriously, you should consider that this is a kinkmeme surrounding the movie and a number of people are going to come in expecting stories about the movie or post-movie or pre-movie. The comics aren't the canon here.
As to your first point, I believe the problem is erasure of a disability. He's not defined by his paralysis, but it's still part of who he is. It's not a big deal if someone wants an AU, but just label it as such; that it's an AU where he can walk. Tbh, this subject isn't a touchy one to me, but I do find it irritating because I go into a fic expecting something and I get something else altogether. I've been thrown a few times by fics written for post-movie prompts or with a post-movie setting, that don't mention anything about it being an AU, but suddenly he was never paralyzed.
