Try this instead:
βœ… Only show actions that are available. Remove disabled actions and let people know why they’re unavailable.

Avoid people getting stuck.

Try this instead:
βœ… Enable the submit button on forms with empty fields and display an error message after it's clicked.
Hope this was helpful, let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for all the feedback, here's another alternative to disabled buttons worth mentioning.
βœ… Put a lock icon on regular buttons to show they're unavailable. This would ensure they’re discoverable and have sufficient contrast.
