There is no reason that it needs to be written to. In
fact it is very easy to have a system that boots from a
DVD!
Doesn't that make it a bit difficult to add kernel extensions (drivers)?
Drivers and other kernel extensions are linked dynamically in
RAM, not on disk (which indeed is the way it was accomplished
up through the 1980's).
but to add them, you must have a writeable volume.
