That sounds very plausible - thanks for enlighting! :)

So this is not a "read" issue but rather a matter of shell instance and
hence there's no way to do the assignment at the end?

It depends on your shell. If you choose Kornshell you won't have that
issue and can write it as you've done with the output as you'd expect.

$ uname -a | read var
$ echo "$var"
Linux [...snip...]

The reason is that the last command in a pipeline will (in Kornshell)
be executed in the "current" shell context.

(In other shells you have to work around the issue as demonstrated in
other answers to your post. Some workaround are more clumsy some less.
A shorter variant of the here-document posted elsethread can be using
here-strings

$ read var <<< $(uname -a)

another method is using process substitution and redirection

$ read var < <(uname -a)

Both supported by shells like ksh, bash, zsh, but non-standard as are
some other workaround proposals that use bash-specifics like 'coproc',
that doesn't work as widely as using '<<<' or '<(...)' do.)
