I would like to hear what the designer had for argument to justify that
solution. Another favorite is the write only register.

GPIO without set/reset registers that force a read/modify/write cycle.

Then we have things that are more bugs than design

The "god" register that is not affected by any reset turning a
reboot/reset into a game of chance.

The occasional write register.
do {
	*reg =xx
}while (*reg != xx)
