The lack a version means that wallets may not necessarily know how to re-derive addresses during the recovery process. A lack of a birthday means that wallets don’t know how far back to look in the chain to ensure that they derive all the proper -user addresses. Additionally, BIP39 use a very weak KDF. We use +user addresses. Additionally, BIP39 use a very weak [KDF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function). We use scrypt with modern parameters (n=32768, r=8, p=1).
