Aria-disabled is required ?

… if we are correctly applying the HTML disabled attribute to these
elements, *do we actually need the aria-disabled attribute as well?*

If not, the where there are cases where we are NOT applying HTML disabled
when an element is disabled, shouldn't the fix be to do that, rather than
add aria-disabled?

See for example
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38059140/when-to-use-the-disabled-attribute-vs-the-aria-disabled-attribute-for-html-eleme
which suggests that we don't need both.
