Why is it necessary to "wipe" an authenticated luks2 device when creating it?

I just added an ability to create an authenticated luks2 device in
zuluCrypt[1] and i am
wondering why these volumes need to be wiped when created. I made it work by
looking at how cryptsetup does it but i don't understand why because i
have so far
failed to find any documentation about it.
