On my system:

$ dlocate /sbin/init
sysvinit-core: /sbin/init
$ cat /proc/1/comm
init

So the former command produces recognizably useful information, whereas
the latter does not.

I can't be sure what the latter command would output on a different
system, not having tested it - but since AFAIK the standard practice is
to launch the init system via /sbin/init (symlinked to something else if
necessary) regardless, I would expect the command to be 'init' in all
cases.
