Why can I change the the reserved blocks on a read only mounted ext4 filesystem?

I would have expected an error, sorry FS is read-only, but it is possible. This is unexpected & counter intuitive is there a reason?

tune2fs never needed the filesystem to be mounted to operate. As you can see in the command, you pass a block device node (/dev/sdh) as an argument to it, not a mountpoint (/mnt/disk/005). It's similar to resize2fs and e2label.
