If, for some reason, you find bugs with the html readonly attribute,
you could mark the fields using aria-readonly="true" but that means
you have to visually indicate its read-only state, and use Javascript
to ensure user cannot type into the field.
Basically a lot of extra work to achieve same functionality.
