A user initiated reboot after install wouldn't magically cause the ISO
to be ejected. You would need the app to keep looking for that reboot
and eject manually which I don't think is viable.
Also, note that most installers will explicitly instruct the user to
eject the CDROM at end of installation, so current app behaviour of
rmoving the CDROM at this time matches that (of course that instruction
is mostly about boot order priority in physical bios).
