Since every customization of Lazarus means the IDE must be rebuilt it also means

But when installing stuff via sudo apt install package it normally gets into
read-only locations, right?

Yes, this is a multi user installation.


So how does this work?

Lazarus tests before compiling a package if the output directory is writable and if not redirects to a sub directory of its config directory.
This is a feature of the IDE and lazbuild.
The makefiles do not support this, so a "make" fails.
If you want to compile lazarus with make, use a git clone of the lazarus repository.
