Not true.

Subversion just deals with path names. "branch" and "tag" are just
naming conventions, they have no distinct semantics. In particular,
you can commit new revs to any pathname so long as the access controls
say that you can.

If you want to have tags in the sense of "this thing can be created
but once created can't be modified" that's easy, just set up access
controls to disallow writes other than creates. But you have to do
that, Subversion doesn't.
