unable/able to be done is universally wrong

for it creates some self-contradictory meaning

when u say something/someone is able to do something


you imply that something/someone actually is the subject that performs such action


however，able to be done


is to convey that someone/something is  controlled to perform some actions that they can themselves perform

that makes no sense
