I tested the behavior of the control. The selection is changed from the view model and the UI is updated even when the component is in the disabled state. Note that you cannot change the selection when tapping on items in the ListView control when the control is Disabled - IsEnabled="False". You can change it programmatically or through external UI. In the case of the demo, I used Button. I am attaching the file with the example provided in it.
I hope this helps.
