Bail reform does not entail granting bail to people who would not otherwise be eligible, it means reducing (or better yet, eliminating) CASH bail. If a judge released someone on any form of bail when there was ample evidence that the person was either a flight-risk or posed a danger to others, that's on the judge - not bail reform. Cash bail is classist bullshit, and needs to go. If a person is deemed safe to be released on bail at all, the size of their bank account shouldn't matter.
