What is the reason then?

Booting a system installed on SD card does not imply replacing the one
installed on your hard drive (as implied by your "proper installation").

Applied to your project, is it a requirement or of any necessity?

Do they all use read-only file systems?

I say it again, if you stop thinking in terms of read-only medium,
you'll procede much faster. In particular, you'll be able to come up
with an early prototype in several hours. This is the main reason
why I say that live CD is the wrong approach to your problem:
you put up an irrelevant requirement that doesn't affect main
functionality and this precludes you from making progress.
