I personally prefer not to use an initial ram disc, so moving all binaries into /usr is a plain *bad* idea. I do keep most binaries my separate, read only, /usr partition but I need the tools to mount it on the root filesystem.
Keeping at least some tools allows me to upgrade those tools without re-installing grub and running of out of space in /boot, which is also a separate partition, which I usually mount read only.
I would like to be able to mount / read only too but that is more difficult.

Since we're talking about Linux here, this will always be possible. There's always LFS giving you extreme control over every minute detail.
Just don't expect every general purpose distribution to conform to your very special requirements.

You're not looking at it with the proper mindset.
An initramfs enforces that the worst of the bling is kept away from your early boot.
