Because httpd_t is not allowed to run as the unconfined_r and bash is not an
entrypoint for the httpd_t domain.
You can write policy for this, but basically
SELinux expects the transitions to work like
unconfined_t @initrc_exec_t -> initrc_t @ httpd_exec_t -> httpd_t
You can do
runcon -t initrc_t -r system_r id -Z
staff_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
But sadly
runcon -t initrc_t -r system_r runcon -t httpd_t id -Z
runcon: invalid context: staff_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023: Permission
denied
Still fails because of you are missing these rules
#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t bin_t:file entrypoint;
#============= initrc_t ==============
allow initrc_t self:process setexec;
You can do the following
# cat /usr/bin/httpd.sh
#!/bin/sh
id -Z
chmod +x /usr/bin/httpd.sh
# chcon -t httpd_exec_t /usr/bin/httpd.sh
# runcon -t initrc_t -r system_r sh -c /bin/httpd.sh
# staff_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
