I agree. Also, I do believe that the HTML disabled attribute can be styled with CSS.

While I do agree with what is said, I will mention that there are other opinions about this. The reality is that WCAG does not require that disabled elements be removed from the tab order. Also, there are some people who feel it can be easier for screen reader users to discover disabled controls if they are part of the tab order.

I only mention this because, while my opinion is different, I do think they have good points to make for their viewpoint on this subject.

Thanks!
