View is still focusable after accessibilityState is set to disabled, but no screen reader output

[paperbackdragon]

Problem Description

If you make a View that's focusable and has an accessibility label, then set the accessibility state to have disabled: true, you can still tab to it (it's still focusable), but screen readers like Narrator don't read anything when it's focused.

I think one of two things could fix this:

• Have the screen reader read out the component as usual, but also have it say that it's disabled
• OR, make the component not focusable if it's disabled

Steps To Reproduce

I was able to reproduce this in the "Accessible" sample app by adding this code and including in what gets rendered:

export const TestView: () => JSX.Element = () => {
  return (
    <View
      focusable
      accessible
      accessibilityLabel={'test label'}
      accessibilityRole="button"
      accessibilityState={{disabled: true}}>
      <Text>Test</Text>
    </View>
  );
};

Notice you can tab to the "Test" component in the UI, but narrator won't read anything, unless you comment out the accessibilityState prop.

Expected Results

See problem description - either the screen reader should announce this component, or you shouldn't be able to focus it at all.

First thing to do here will be to replicate on other platforms and compare behavior.

related: #8875. Next step is to confirm that the root cause is the same for both, in which case this will be a matter of checking the disabled/enabled state when deciding on isTabStop value for that control.
