Crypto has reversible transactions when both parties agree to use that functionality in advance (well, the reasonably programmable ones do, anyway)

It's not a bug if both parties give consent, which sounds like a wonderful way to transact, to me!

But, when you REALLY want reversibility is when the transaction is done without your consent — when stuff is stolen and you want it back.

Thieves will not tend to consent to reversible transactions.
