So if many decades ago, IBM would have asked me (LOL), I would have
suggested an option like READONLY, RO, PROTECTED, or something along those

The linkage editor started out with a "read only" option, namely REFR (refreshable). But it was not honored by the early loaders, that treated it as interchangeable with RENT.
