Files app sets the network drive as read-only?

Yes.  Many people have reported this and for several versions of
ios/ipados.

The Files app does not set the permissions on the Windows share.  Why would
you think that is even possible?  The Files app uses whatever persmissions are
set on the Windows share.

When you share a drive/folder on Windows, the default permission is read only.
 That is why I specifically stated to give Full Control if you want to be able
to add/change/delete files on the Windows share. This is true regardless of
what is connecting to the Windows share. Linux, Unix, Windows, whatever.  All
can only do what is allowed on the Windows share, which is set by the Windows
Administrator.  Which, in this case, is you.
