Which download button you’re talking about?

Please provide screenshot of it,

The only download button on YouTube is the one for downloading your own videos from your video manager, other users do not have access to that, so there is no disable as there is no need for it. However if other users have software that allows them to perform illegal downloads, there is no way to stop that. If you somehow find that someone has illegally downloaded your videos you can take legal action against them.
