Does record represent immutability?
Record type is not necessarily asking all members to be immutable. It can still provide useful functions such as a nice ToString format and equal checking
I've run into this issue too when trying to work with record types. The workaround we've used is to create a new ObservableRecord type using the source from ObservableObject with one or two tweaks. Would be nice to have "official" support for records though
