[🐛 Bug]: IEDriverServer 4.0.0 doesn't work with native events disabled

What happened?

The last version of IEDriver that worked fine with native events disabled was 3.150.1.

How can we reproduce the issue?

InternetExplorerOptions ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
ieOptions.disableNativeEvents(); // IMPORTANT
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofMillis(10000), Duration.ofMillis(100)).until(
	ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.name("q")));
WebElement searchField = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
searchField.sendKeys("test");
searchField.submit();
new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofMillis(10000), Duration.ofMillis(100)).until(
	ExpectedConditions.titleContains("test"));
driver.quit();

In this case even sendKeys() has no effect because I don’t see anything typed in the field.
