I meant with modern technology, we could have just moved the heads to
read-write the platters.

The closest I can think of this would be an optical bar code reader.

I think the transfer rate, and data density will always mean that the
data moves, rather than the heads

Not really. Spinning is the easiest precise way to move a flat
surface. Also in magnetic media you need the data surface to
move with respect to the heads, otherwise no (easy) reading.
