Would it better to modify the code so that it only applies to the correct places instead of disabling it entirely?

AFAIK, There are no "correct places" where an accessibility hint is needed. Even for the Pressable, the hint should be used rarely and depends on the app itself.
We can't safely suggest when it should be used. So, we either turn it off or remove that rule entirely.

Can you add a changeset for a patch using yarn changeset? Then we can merge and leave it disabled. If someone finds a way to target in the future we still have the code to modify.
