We place high value on perceived intelligence and ability. You essentially answered your own puzzlement, you just haven't realized it yet.
So, saying mentally challenged makes us seem more intelligent, and having possibly more unseen ability then we actually have.
You sure I didn't realize it. I don't like people who try to slur in a backhanded way.
You may be the one who places high value on perceived intelligence, it's called politically correct, and it's a diversion to take away from real issues of importance.
