That just nudges the question one step out; why does systemd-sysext make /usr and /opt read-only? AFAICT it's just some tooling over an overlay filesystem, which I'm pretty sure works with rw filesystems?

Overlaying an rw filesystem can mean that some changes to the underlying rw filesystem have no effect, which many users might find to be pretty surprising behavior. Maybe it's to force users to think about what they're doing more, in case they install or update a package that the overlay overrides.
