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 d=
oom
     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.
