At least with Demon Balor, the whole ending sequence came off way more comedic than it should have been but had Balor won, it also would have been a pretty cool and unique ending to a WWE match. Worst that could happen is a lot of ridicule towards Balor and WWE over it.
With Reigns, WWE knowingly and purposely put his health at a potential big risk by booking an unnecessary brawl in the crowd portion for his match. His health battles with leukemia means his immune system is at a bigger risk for COVID than someone like Balor and if the Delta variant has shown, even being vaccinated doesn't fully resolve those concerns. The moment he had to go grab a mask for that part of the match is the moment where WWE messed up royally with their booking of that whole match.

While I agree in theory, there is no way Roman was MADE to do that. If Roman didn't want to fight in the crowd, he wouldn't have. The better argument would be that WWE should have put their foot down and told Roman he couldn't do the crowd spot for his own good, for the exact reasons you said.
