It don't have to be usable for temporary usage only.

The point is that "none" will never know about all field types and the data 
behind it. For example the values for a select field has to be fetched, 
processed, TSConfig, etc. Also think about user fields. 

In my opinion all field types should be able to render themselves as 
read-only.
