Description

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=globaluserinfo&formatversion=2&guiuser=%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D0%94%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD&guiprop=editcount%7Cgroups%7Cmerged%7Crights%7Cunattached

The reason why this account was locked is missing from this request. For an analogy, fetching userinfo optionally returns the block reason if the user is blocked.

On a technical level there is no such thing as a 'lock reason'. The best alternative is to query the comment field for the last globalauth log entry for the user, for example https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&list=logevents&formatversion=2&letype=globalauth&letitle=User%3A%D0%A1%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9%20%D0%94%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%40global.
