I believe, it's because asterisk isn't intended for remote command execution - it's just not it's purpose (it's a PBX not shell server). I suppose the code of handling ! is in client part of asterisk CLI, not server. There are other far much superior and faster ways how to do that. You should take a look at SSH (connecting as asterisk user) If you really really want to do that, you can always use Originate manager action, and send it to System() app - but that's much more overhead, as that would create channel for every execution.
