Actually the motivation behind disallowing changes was to prevent  a user
from modifying the include file and then having the modification disappear
when they upgraded to the next release.  What you point out is an
unintended, though useful, side effect of having the file read only.

You cannot change the members in the IBM-supplied includes -- all the
includes have bits set in the object header which disallow changes.
Rochester does that so they don't have to support calls from sites where
the problem is really that the includes were changed by an idiot -- they
make enough errors on their own without supporting customer mistakes
too!...
