Q: What is an example usage? What have people used read-only *NIX installations for? Would this be especially suitable to run virtually?

The author has game related repos on GH and I speculate a usage they are considering is to setup an emulation station.

Would be perfect for a small VM, or a container. Writable storage can be mounted separately where needed.
