Or if one were to permit the caller to modify the input.

Well, in C you *can* pass it a string literal, because string literals
aren't const, but yes, if string literals were const (which I personally
would greatly prefer), then you wouldn't be able to pass a string
literal.

If the intent of the function is to allow the string to be modified, why
*should* you be able to pass a string literal to it?

One function that lets you modify the string you pass to it, and another
that doesn't.  Two different functions *with significantly different
semantics*.  What's unacceptable about that?

And how often are you going to want to modify data in place in a string
containing CSV data?  You can only do that if the replacement data is
exactly the same length as the original data; you can't change
"...,9,..." to "...,10,..." without shifting the rest of the string and
perhaps allocating extra memory.  I'd say it's perfectly acceptable in
this case to provide *only* a function that doesn't let you modify
anything.  (And if you really need to modify the string, you can either
write that second function or *carefully* use casts to override the
"const".)

So what's your solution?  Would you drop "const" from the language?
Suppose you have a function that modifies a string, and you accidentally
pass it a string literal; do you not *want* the compiler to warn you?
(C compilers typically won't warn in that case, but I don't think that's
an argument for loosening the const rules.)
