The reason to do this is to protect data on thumb drives full of archives.When searching for information, most of the discussion was from people who had root file systems which had been corrupted so the mount process mounted them read-only. In this case, all is well and the drives being mounted contain archives which one doesn't want to lose so mounting them as read-only would be a good way to protect them.
I would use the '-r' or '-o ro' option to the mount command. https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount -- John Doe
