Chip announces to screen readers as "dimmed" even when active #4844

Current behaviour

Chips announce as "dimmed" to screen readers even when they have an onPress

Expected behaviour

They probably shouldn't ever announce as "dimmed", since chips tend to be either active buttons, or informational; rarely disabled buttons. I'm assuming this is an unintentional side-effect of the construction of this component.

How to reproduce?

Interact with a <Chip> component with VoiceOver.

Preview

What have you tried so far?

Setting disabled={false} does not address the issue. (It's false by default anyway.)

PRs aren't being approved right now, so I haven't bothered working one up; this is to make sure the issue is recorded and known. If the library starts being maintained again and PRs are approved and merged, I can look into the internals and try to address the issue in a PR.
