Aria-disabled would be necessary for non-native HTML controls, such as custom controls created out of div or other elements, if they are made to behave as form controls using JavaScript and ARIA.

can you confirm if aria-disabled="true" is really needed?


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.
