To guarantee, in theory, that there isn't any contamination between two different flash drives.

But in practice, I'm pretty sure that with the right privileges you could just write to the SD card...

Isn't there also a physical switch on the SD card to mark it as write-protected? I'm sure that could be bypassed, but it would make it more difficult to hide the contamination.

The physical switch is entirely software implemented.

Also for Raspberry Pis the connection pin the switch relies on is un-wired.
