Say you want to read Help > Embedded Objects and would rather have non-justified text in the LyX work area, then you cannot just turn on the option as the document is read-only: you cannot hit OK in Doc Settings. In a non read-only document that has been saved, changing this option would also mark the document as changed, although the final output wouldn't change at all.
