We generally document shutdown(8) instead of reboot(8) as it's better for interactive use. In modern FreeBSD is matters a lot less, it's mostly just convention. One minor thing is that shutdown(8) produces a global message, while reboot(8) does not. It is believed that historically, some versions of reboot did not do appropriate safe shutdown checks and just rebooted. It's also just consistency: for example the handbook[1] documents shutdown. There is actually another important difference between reboot and shutdown -r now: reboot does not run /etc/rc.shutdown. This is because reboot has its own shutdown procedure and does not signal init like init 6 and shutdown -r now do (except in the case of rerooting via reboot -r). A few years ago jilles@ proposed changing reboot's default to signalling init (preserving reboot -q which just invokes the reboot system call), but this was not accepted. Perhaps this can be tried again for 13.0.
