One thing I don't get about the US reasoning regarding ADA requirements. Does ADA really require the entire train to be wheelchair accessible? 

European requirements are different. Only the wheelchair accessible area (wheelchair space and nearest toilet) has to be wheelchair accessible.

What does the ADA require? Does it really require the entire train in its entirety to be wheelchair-accessible?

It's not like Europe does not have accessibility regulations just because we aren't Americans. We have PRM TSI with precise technical specifications for train accessiblity.
