Since commit cb4e5f8e, monitor command change makes the new media readonly iff the type hint is BDRV_TYPE_CDROM, i.e. the drive was created with media=cdrom. The intention is to avoid changing a block device's read-only-ness. However, BDRV_TYPE_CDROM is only a hint. It is currently sufficent for read-only. But it's not necessary, and it may not remain sufficient.
Use bdrv_is_read_only() instead.
