Cannot disable acf_field_image

When in the acf/prepare_field filter, I set $field['disabled'] = 1; for image fields, it doesn’t work.

The fields are not disabled: the user can still delete the image (with the X icon) and upload a new one.

If anyone else is interested, here is a plugin I developed to have an image field that supports disabled/read-only mode.
