Comment (by stevejonesdev):

 Those tickets are related but neither of them would fully address this
 accessibility issue. The initial state of the "Install Now/Activate"
 button is an anchor link when it should be a button or have a role of
 button. Once a plugin is installed and activated it is not until after the
 page is reloaded that it turns into a button. Since the page no longer
 reloads as noted in ticket [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60992
 #60992] the "Install Now/Activate" button never changes to a button unless
 the user does a manual page refresh. This is also why it's still clickable
 as noted in ticket ticket [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/60663
 #60663].
