Well, the reason they imposed a cooldown is because rebooting is pretty expensive, relatively speaking. So programs that used rebooting as a "easy" way to loop themselves were being laggy and evil to the rest of the world's computers.

Or was, anyway. Now the reason is the cooldown, which is long enough to obviate the expense of a reboot to the overall CC computer capacity (and discourage using reboot just to infinite loop a program rather than when you actually want to reboot). There are certainly better ways to simply exit a program if you have no need to reload everything, but reboot is no longer evil...it's just slow.
