API v2 Bulk Delete Collection Items

With API v1, we were able to use bulk deletion with collection items. We have a system where it's easier to just delete all items and replace them by the new ones. Now with v2 we have to remove every item one by one.

The documentation states: "This endpoint does not currently support bulk deletion." https://developers.webflow.com/data/reference/delete-item

Why? It worked on v1, why remove it? What does "not currently support" mean? Is it in the works?

There also seem to be other people who think the same thing:

https://discourse.webflow.com/t/deleting-collection-items-via-api-v2/287381

Please bring it back!
