Using CON messages, CoAP adds "reliability" on the top of UDP. But for multicast UDP, this doesn't work. Otherwise, you would need to know, how many devices are used. RFC 7252 doesn't specify that use-case. Multicast is also mostly limited to local-networks, it's very useful to discover the devices there, but not for FOTA. That kind of optimizations usually don't pay off.
