My understanding is that this is intentional.
The docstring of apropos-variable says that it shows "user
variables", and that you can list "normal variables" too by
using C-u M-x apropos-variable RET or by setting
(setq apropos-do-all t)
Maybe `apropos-variable' should be renamed `apropos-options'
to make it clear it lists "user variables" and not "normal
variables." (this assumes the convention of options = user
variables is common enough.)
