The ability to change (at least data) pages between "untouchable" and RW is required for MMU assisted incremental GC. If the GC also handles code, then it must be able to mark pages executable as well. If an "untouchable" page can't be manipulated by user software, then you've disallowed an entire class of GC systems.
