Perhaps its not defined as a type in stdbool.h?
`bool` is not really a type in C, it's a macro expanding to _Bool -- and even, applications are explicitly allowed to undefine `bool`, `false` and `true` at their convenience. This said, we could probably indeed have `bool`, `false` and `true` in filetypes.c's `primary=` list (especially as we do have `FALSE` and `TRUE` which aren't even defined in standard C). Technically those aren't keywords [1], but I guess it'd be convenient to have them -- yet one has to remember those are library extensions only available through stdbool.h.
