Because, you are assuming that a reboot is always intended, and that is

I'm not sure I follow. In what circumstances is flashing the BIOS during
an unintended reboot a problem?
in the case that you changed your mind, for whatever reason, but the
reboot happened before you had a chance to unwind the decision to flash.
If the OLPC folks are happy with the method you have outlined, then go
for it. I am expressing my opinion, based on several years of bios work
on thousands of machines, that it makes me uncomfortable.
