It is not a rule, but I think it is best that sysops should not use power they have in disagreement with other users who do not have that power. Yes, both can do revert, but using the rollback feature is perceived as a "power".
The problem with rollback is the dismissiveness of it, for one thing -- it's fundamentally treating an addition 'as vandalism' - not even worth a comment as to why it's removed. Though that's no worse than just entering 'rv' or 'revert' as the comment.
The other problem with rollback is it reverts not just the most recent change, but rather rolls back to the last edit by another user. This means if you're using it on non vandalism, it's possible to accidentally roll back too far.
