Perhaps because EPP is badly tailored for bulk operations.  I can
think of ways in which it might have been otherwise, but the WG
decided not to go that way.  Since the protocol is poorly adapted to
such operations, why try to force them in there?

Or, put it another way: EPP is by no means the only relationship
between an EPP repository operator and the clients: much of the system
depends on pre-existing relationships anyway.  Therefore, it seems at
least as good to use those other communication channels for bulk
operations as to add features to EPP for this.  I am not saying that
it is better or worse; but that there are other options, and before
one is going to change deployed systems to deal with new desired
behaviour, one needs an argument that alterations to those deployed
systems is the right approach to satisfy the desire.
