No, read-only prevents you from erasing the text, not from moving into it.
read-only _is_ on by default.
Which is a big difference compared to shell buffers where you can erase the prompt. That too was a surprise to me in the beginning.

How the prompt is handled does not seem so consistent as you maybe hastily thought before. So I must say this area is prone to misunderstanding. I still believe the best is to make it simple for beginners and not let the point move in to the minibuffer prompt.
