A few years ago, I designed an incredibly fast write-only file system, but for some reason couldn't leverage it into a commercial product that anyone was willing to buy.

There's plenty of read-only media out there. I can see this being useful for container deployment -- you've got a database somewhere that you have read/write access to, but the deployed code doesn't need to be updated in the container. A readonly filesystem is a great way to enforce principle of least privilege.
