I'm not exactly sure how jailbreaking works, but I'd imagine the bootrom exploit is some sort of backdoor into the kernel. It can't be updated by Apple. With the iPad 2, they need to bypass an additional layer of defenses (the OS, which Apple does update). I'm not exactly sure if hardware needs to be exploited on the iPad 2 for anything, but anything that does can be updated by Apple apparently. Therefore, they are prone to having Apple patching the holes, so they then have to find a new one.
