Any idea why Mobil 1 isn't LL-1 rated anymore?

EDIT: I just found this via Google:

Response from ExxonMobilExxonMobil Team, ExxonMobilMay 16, 2016
Quality & performance of the new Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 is comparable to the outgoing Mobil 1 0W-40, carrying many of the same claims.
However, Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 no longer carries BMW LL-01, due to changes in BMW’s testing requirement.
