It is backwards compatible, so this tells me that they added an additional check to prevent certificates for such domains to be issued. I think this is a security measure that prevents people from getting certificates for homoglpyh domains. Browsers already offer some protection, but why not add an additional layer?

  This is not protection. People will get it from letsencrypt or any other CA.

    yes, but google will be spared the bad press when this issue goes through the press again as it seems to happen every few years.
