"*" refers to the server itself regardless of any of its resources. I'm not sure we'd need other method targetting the server and not a specific resource. Maybe it could have made sense if a method such as CONNECT was supported on servers, for instance to establish a tunnel between a client and a server, but it does not and anyway for this we could use the Upgrade mechanism which already supports GET on a specific resource or OPTIONS *.
