Interesting. Here is a an example that sort of works, Variant 1:
\definefontfamily[english] [rm] [ebgaramond] [features={default, dlig=no}]
\setupbodyfont[english,10pt]
\starttext
Variant 1:
Does this look like EBGaramond?
fi fl ffi ffl ct st
\stoptext
However, it turns of *all* the ligatures.
Here is an example that works as expected, Variant 2:
\definefontfeature[english][dlig=no]
\definefontfamily[ebgaramond] [rm] [EB Garamond]
[features={default,english}]
\setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,10pt]
\starttext
Variant 2:
Does this look like EBGaramond?
fi fl ffi ffl ct st
\stoptext
It turns off just the ct and st ligatures.
I've attached the generated PDF files for both variants.
