Bob, repeated (read: CONSTANT) feedback about things like non standard call signs not being compatible with the “older” version of the FT8 Protocol among other things as well as the demand to use FT8 in things like Field Day or contests is driving it. In short, this is what the users have been asking for and this is how they’ll get it. There are other reasons related to decode ability and whatnot as well that can be explained by those way more intelligent than myself.
