The assistant ignores drives that it cannot write to. This is a very good heuristic to avoid listing every special device in linux, OSX, etc as possible removable drives. I don't think it makes sense for the assistant to try to handle this use case.
Is there some problem using git-annex at the command line with a remote that is read-only? I don't see any problem in my tests.
