Steps to reproduce

Steps:

  1. Go to the Mui chip link https://mui.com/material-ui/react-chip/
  2. Goto the clickable section
  3. update the example with the following code `

`

Current behavior

If you inspect the first chip component that is disabled if you set skipFocusWhenDisabled={true} the tabIndex is set to -1 which I think is correct if you then set skipFocusWhenDisabled={false} the tabIndex is still -1 which I think is incorrect.

Expected behavior

When disabled is set to true and skipFocusWhenDisabled={false} the Index should not be -1 it should allow it to have focus.
