Motivation
ReactEditText contains a hack to prevent focus from being set from native code. Here are the comments in code:
Unfortunately one of the random reasons is when TalkBack is turned on and user wants to focus on a TextInput with double tap. With this hack the TextInput can never be focused on Android 6.0.

Test Plan
Tested with RNTester app. Doesn't seem to affect TextInput when TalkBack is off.
