Why you shouldn't use disabled buttons?
Bad accessibility
Sometimes disabled buttons are designed in a way that they cannot be read by a screen reader (buttons are not focusable, and hence users can't reach them with a keyboard). No need to explain that users with disabilities will face problems with such behavior.
Is it OK to GREY out disabled buttons?
For a smooth and seamless experience, it's best to avoid graying out your disabled buttons. Instead, you should decrease the opacity to make it transparent. When the disabled button is transparent, users can see some semblance of the button in its enabled state.
Should we use disabled buttons?
While designing the UI, avoid using a disabled button as it becomes hard to find out why it is disabled and what should be done to make it enable. It is better to keep buttons enabled all the time and highlight the field if users don't provide the required information.
