No need to eliminate it, if you are physically able to drive a car,
you are physically able to fly a plane as a private pilot.

Then why is the medical for a pilot's license so much more strict than that
for a car?

Professional pilots are held to higher standards, and rightly so, as far as
physical capabilities are concerned.

Why rightly so? Are the same standards applied to ship captains and train
engineers?

You really
should give flying a try; you might really enjoy flying up in the open
air. I guaranty you it is a world of difference from flying on a
computer.

If I ever have the resources to do so, I might. However, it's entirely
plausible that I might find that I prefer simulation to the real thing, for a
number of reasons.

Yeah, mostly because the real world scares you ****less.

You'd rather hole up in your simulated bat cave and make grandiose
pronouncements on people living a real life.

But since the real world scares you so much, you'll never have the
resources to do anything other than be a USENET irritant.
