Is there any reason that it says Glocks cannot fire reloaded ammo?

It gives a reason--it says that Glock barrels do not provide full cartridge support. Obviously not everyone agrees, but that's another story.

What could be the difference between handloads , crimped using the provided carbide crimping die, and factory ammo?

None, as long as you always use new brass. Of course, the reason people reload is because they reuse their brass to save money.
If you're reusing brass that has been fired from a chamber without full support then it is probably bulged. That bulge will get swaged out when the brass is run through the dies during the reloading process. When it is fired, it will bulge again. The cycle weakens the brass and increases the chances of a case failure.
There's been a lot written on whether Glock chambers do or don't provide full support, as well as some material that claims that they have been changed on newer models to provide more support. If you can find a way to verify that your particular pistol's barrel provides full case support then the warning doesn't apply.
