it's because, despite them both being reptiles, dinosaurs and dragons are very different. It would make sense to study birds and animals for dinosaurs. But dragons are majestic, fantastic and glorious. To have the dragon mo-capped makes sense because he will move in a more glorious and, for want of a better word, graceful way, something dinosaurs don't do. Last I checked, birds actually are animals. As for dinosaurs, I dont see why they would not have been graceful. After all, the surviving ones certainly can be. They can also be very frightening. Just have an ostrich stare you in the face from a couple feet away, and hope he likes you. I doubt Komodo dragons are much like dinosaurs, by the way. Dinosaurs werent lizards any more than an ostrich is a lizard.
…all eyes looked upon the ring; for he held it now aloft, and the green jewels gleamed there that the Noldor had devised in Valinor. For this ring was like to twin serpents, whose eyes were emeralds, and their heads met beneath a crown of golden flowers, that the one upheld and the other devoured; that was the badge of Finarfin and his house.The Silmarillion, pp 150-151 while Felagund laughs beneath the treesin Valinor and comes no more to this grey world of tears and war.The Lays of Beleriand, p 311

Dinosaurs (subset of) Reptiles

That's because the classification system is seriously out of date.

That's correct, Dinosaurs are now largely considered to be neither reptiles nor birds, but their own specific clade inbetween. //
