Kali should have the ability to install to a USB device and run as a portable installation (Much like the live installer with persistence) without the limit of running from Readonly media.

Not when you're live, no.

The whole OS is essentially loaded into RAM, updating things requires things to be written to disk.

I was looking at the output of an upgrade of an iso file (I know it is not not supposed to work but it does with kali when you have persistence) when I encountered this:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.142) ...
I: update-initramfs is disabled (live system is running on read-only media).

Is there a way to enable it?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
