The marketing is confusing in this regard. Two of the three "holy trinity" FF zooms lack the star(*) designation, but the new primes have it.

Snobbishness, maybe?

The two you're referring to are the Tamrons.

Definitely confusing. But can you imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth had they given a Tamron lens a '*'? As confusing as it might be, they made the best of a difficult marketing decision.
