I disagree.
Making it configurable means more control for admins. Admin could also
have a reason for disabling readOnly.

I have found a solution:

t3lib_tceforms->allowOverrideMatrix (see code below) is a whitelist to
restrict TCA field configuration to be overridden by TSconfig. The key
readOnly is not in the whitelist, which prevents me from simply using:

TCEFORM.tx_myext_tbl.myfield.config.readOnly = 1

t3lib_tceforms->allowOverrideMatrix:

// Define whitelist that allows TCA field configuration to be overridden
by TSconfig, @see overrideFieldConf():
$this->allowOverrideMatrix = array(
  'input' => array('size', 'max'),
  'text' => array('cols', 'rows', 'wrap'),
  'check' => array('cols', 'showIfRTE'),
  'select' => array('size', 'autoSizeMax', 'maxitems', 'minitems'),
  'group' => array('size', 'autoSizeMax', 'max_size', 'show_thumbs',
'maxitems', 'minitems', 'disable_controls'),
  'inline' => array('appearance', 'behaviour', 'foreign_label',
'foreign_selector', 'foreign_unique', 'maxitems', 'minitems', 'size',
'autoSizeMax', 'symmetric_label'),
);
