The "readOnly" keyword of $ref properties is ignored by oav validation process.

Full context:
My team and I are developing a new RP via RPaaS and we have RPaaS validation enabled. We expect read-only properties that are sent as part of the request to be discarded. Instead, if they are defined with the $ref keyword (see example below), they go through and override the existing values of these properties in RPaaS database.
I might be wrong, but I heard that RPaaS are using oav tools to perform their validation task (including the removal of read-only fields from the request body). Is this true? If it is, can this be fixed? Thanks in advance.

Example of a property defined with the $ref keyword:

"systemData": {
          "$ref": "../../../../../common-types/resource-management/v3/types.json#/definitions/systemData",
          "description": "Azure Resource Manager metadata containing createdBy and modifiedBy information",
          "readOnly": true // This is ignored by oav
        }
