Since Sakura was able to solve it just fine, it suggests that nobody in that room could've known cheating was the true objective, not until they were told afterwards.

Boruto's feelings are understandable and reasonable. His brat behaviour is reasonable.

In Naruto's case, he was lied by Mizuki, being told that he automatically graduates from the academy if he manages to steal a scroll. So in this case, Naruto was lied to by a man he had no reason to not trust, while Boruto was literally told that he can't use the Kote. With 2 seconds of thinking, Naruto could've known he wasn't supposed to steal the scroll. Boruto was also told by Katasuke that the Kote thing was unreasonable and that he wanted to convince Naruto to allow it by showing it in action.

Sure, WE know that's not the point of the Chunin exams, but clearly the lessons of the past aren't passed on that easily. Especially since kids were legally murdering, stealing and cheating in previous versions, Naruto would find it hard to justify his ban if he told them what it was really about.
