I am just curious, why not?

Csteipp, are you out there somewhere?

@Deskana, @BJorsch (WMF), or @Aaron Schulz might remember if there is a Phabricator task (would be an import from Bugzilla) or wiki page somewhere with the design decisions that led to picking 1.0a instead of 2.x. I have vague recollections, but 6 years ago was a long time and I was a n00b to the team and not directly a part of the project.

Lucky coincidence I happened to notice the notification on the staff account I seldom use.

IIRC, it's mainly because OAuth 2 didn't seem to have real advantages over 1.0a for the use cases we anticipated supporting, while being a more complex specification and more or less encouraging incompatible implementations.

https://hueniverse.com/oauth-2-0-and-the-road-to-hell-8eec45921529 may also be a useful read.

On the other hand, there is a task (T229500) to create an OAuth 2 extension. I don't know whether it'll actually go anywhere.
