I am quite sure this relates to the fact changing the values on a Map object, i.e on memory only, does not give too many options to store same values on SDcard more for later use.

So why it does not return an unmodifiable map ?  It is very cheap, getAll is not meant to be used in a loop anyway - what am I missing ?

As per its docs :

Note that you must not modify the collection returned by this method, or alter any of its contents. The consistency of your stored data is not guaranteed if you do.

 

Is there a reason it does not return an unmodifiable map ?
