Issuing a SHA-1 certificate for one domain doesn't just put that domain at risk, it threatens the entire ecosystem. Someone requesting such a cert may have a second cert with the same hash, but for a different domain or even an intermediate, like the MD5 collision. It's not like you could avoid this by asking "are you a nation state attacker" during the application process.
