 This came up in an accessibility audit of one of the sites I work on. On
 the profile edit screen in wp-admin, the username is displayed using an
 input field with the `disabled` attribute. This field is skipped by screen
 readers, which leads to a "loss of information" for visually impaired
 users.

 It's better to use `readonly` here. This is exactly what the field is used
 for, and readonly fields are read by screen readers.
