That is not true, ShEx and Resource Shapes work independently of reasoning.
As I said in another thread, they can be used in combination with a
reasoner.
It is similar to SPARQL, you would not say that SPARQL only allows
without-reasoning, it is just independent of reasoning, which means that
you can do SPARQL with or without a reasoner.
In fact, the lightweight nature of ShEx means that it can be used before
and after reasoning: before reasoning to check if you have the triples that
you expect and after, to check if the reasoner added the triples that you
wanted.
