The "extra development cost" is a red herring. Producing a simpler read-only display screen is trivially easy in terms of dev cost, and if they are doing their implementation correctly, should be literally a one-line change when the new screen is functional.
The programmer is (a) being lazy, and (b) being stupid. It is actually *more* work to make a single UI that has a read-only mode than it is to make two UIs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
