There is a reason all users only have Read Only Access to /System/Library/Fonts: You are not supposed to add stuff there. Generally doing anything in /System is a bad. /Library/Fonts is where fonts needed by all users should go. If you are admin, you don’t even need to give your password to add fonts to /Library/Fonts.

The cited fonts were provided by Apple as part of the base system on earlier OS versions. This is not a question of Apple removing user-added fonts.
