Asterisks have traditionally been a special character (e.g. dir *.*), while periods have traditionally been used to separate a file's extension from its name. Even if periods were supported (in footprint names), supporting asterisks could have an impact upon the ability to support search commands (for footprint names within PCB Library files).
