Can't prevent default input in TextInput in controlled component

Description

The comment in #24585 suggested creating another issue for this. It's also similar to #23578.

The problem is that you can't prevent the default behavior of controlled TextInput in ReactNative.

I've asked this on StackOverflow: How to prevent adding typed keys into controlled TextInput in React-Native?. But looking at similar issues this is a bug (or missing feature) in ReactNative.

React Native Version

0.71.8

Steps to reproduce

Type the number into the input field with the code below. The code works on the Expo playground but fails on Android Emulator (didn't tested on a real device).

From the demo I expect the input to not change.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

const ControlledComponent = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useState('0.00');
  const cursor = 1;
  return (
    <TextInput
      ref={ref}
      autoFocus
      onKeyPress={() => { /* empty */ }}
      selection={{start: cursor, end: cursor}}
      value={state}
      keyboardType="numeric"
    />
  );
};

event.preventDefault() also doesn't work:

const ControlledComponent = () => {
  const [state, setState] = useState('0.00');
  const cursor = 1;
  return (
    <TextInput
      ref={ref}
      autoFocus
      onKeyPress={(e) => { e.preventDefault() }}
      selection={{start: cursor, end: cursor}}
      value={state}
      keyboardType="numeric"
    />
  );
};

No source file or test is named. Start by running the provided controlled TextInput example on Android and comparing it with the Expo behavior; done means the controlled input remains unchanged when a key is typed or when onKeyPress calls preventDefault().
