Why does a read need to complete before a subsequent read? Why can't they be concurrent?

From my understanding, a read doesn't NEED to complete before a subsequent read. It's just one of the types of orderings. Some systems may implement this, some may not. Sequentially consistent memory systems maintain this because its just sequential with no concurrency.
