This. What runs in the openshift-monitoring namespace is dedicated for the cluster monitoring which is why the Grafana instance is read-only [1]. You can still leverage the Prometheus operator to deploy additional Prometheus instances (+ service monitors) in your namespace(s). There are plans to refine and improve this situation but nothing acted yet.
