  It was possible to boot to single user mode and remount root as read-only prior to systemd, Whether this was the optimal method for achieving this is irrelevant, it was possible, and popular. That specific method no longer works easily as before, while the optimal method does. The commentor was using their preferred (if suboptimal) convention from the prior init system and running into problems. I think that perfectly matches the statement "It actually is a problem of carrying over obsolete conventions from prior init systems." It is also a case of not knowing the correct/optimal prior convention, but that doesn't make the original statement untrue.
