What aspects of a plain wildcard cert wouldn't work for that?

"Affordable". Most CAs charge exorbitant prices for wildcard certificates; 10x the price of a normal cert isn't unusual.
By deploying the same certificate/key to every machine you really cut down on the 'private' part of the private key.
