Nope, I speak for myself. Nether told anything else.

I don't really appreciate the tone, I think reasonator is really cool and
I'm probably one of the people who pushed its use the most in Wikidata. Do
you have a useful answer to your own question ?

One point is that Reasonator uses Wikidata query, who, last time I checked,
was not planned to be integrated into Wikibase. Wikibase will have its own
query engine. It would be a giant software architecture mess if the core
mediawiki/wikibase depends on external query engine.
