The platform conventions are that for native HTML controls that can be
disabled and are disabled are not keyboard focusable. There is no
requirement in WCAG 2/2.1 for disabled controls to be focusable.

Just make sure to differentiate between disabled and read only.
A form field that has pre populated values use readonly to make it
fully discoverable.
For a button that is ninactive, disabled is good.
