This likely is deliberate for reboot, quoting
"man reboot" about it not normally being used:

 Normally, the shutdown(8) utility is used when the system needs to be
     halted or restarted, giving users advance warning of their impending doom
     and cleanly terminating specific programs.

Reboot takes more ricks of unclean behavior.
It being more restricted makes sense.

This really covers:

NAME
     reboot, halt, fastboot, fasthalt - stopping and restarting the system

as more risky by not cleanly terminating
as much as the shutdown command variations do.
