ELI5: Why does wildcard need ACMEv2?

What is the exact reason a new ACME protocol is needed to validate and issue wildcard certificates? Just wondering.

We decided to implement wildcard issuance as part of the ACME v2 work in order to provide a positive incentive for client developers to implement the new protocol.
