brights2k, the cursor might be useful if you wanted to select part of the text for copying, as it of course shows where the selection start position will be.

The text could be made selectable without the cursor being present, as is done in Chrome:

Presence of a cursor implies ability to type, which you cannot for a readonly input, so I'd regard this as a bug.

It also isn't mentioned in the release notes for 134, which implies the change was not deliberate.
