Here is what I tried in Emacs versions 26.3 and 28.0.50:

1. 'C-h C-t' that visits etc/TODO in read-only view-mode
2. 'M-x revert-buffer RET yes RET'

In 26.3 there is no view-mode, but still there is a read-only indicator.
In 28.0.50 no view-mode, no read-only indicator.

3. 'C-x C-q' to enable read-only
4. again 'M-x revert-buffer RET yes RET'

In 26.3 the buffer is still read-only.
In 28.0.50 no read-only indicator.
