How to Disable Inventory Management In Magento 2.x

Question

It may be necessary to disable Inventory Management modules to:

• Speed up the upgrade process for merchants migrating from 2.0.x, 2.1.x, or 2.2.x to 2.3.x.
• Use custom or third party inventory and order management modules.
• Use Magento Order Management for inventory and order management. The current Order Management connector does not support Inventory Management interfaces.

I am attempting to follow the official Magento instructions to disable inventory management modules. I have disabled modules from the command line previously and I am comfortable doing that. However, the instructions are not clear to me. They say,

"To disable Inventory Management, see the instructions for Enable or disable modules."

I understand the generic steps. I need the specific steps. Can I use the inventory-composer-metapackage to uninstall? If so, a specific example would help.

Even though it seemed wrong, I contemplated this:

bin/magento module:disable inventory-composer-metapackage

But I checked first and that is clearly wrong because:

bin/magento module:status inventory-composer-metapackage
Module does not exist

I'm running Magento 2.3.3 on CentOS 7.
