Here are the Full Canon EOS R6 V Specifications

Sony does allow flash sync with its ZV-E10 II, that does not have shutter curtains, however that camera can only sync at up to 1/30th.

If the R6 V has the same readout speed as the R6III (13-13.5 ms), that would support X-sync of around 1/60 s - 1/80 s. I guess Canon decided that was too slow.

They want to keep selling the R6 Mark III to photographers, that's the thing.

EDIT: I honestly hadn't thought this deeply about these features, but if this camera had both a mechanical shutter and x-sync, it wouldn't be just "live view photographers" that would no longer but the R6 III, but studio photographers too.

I'm very curious to learn if the HDMI port blocks the LCD screen when unfolded. That's a unique small touch from the C50, C80, Sony FX3 etc that makes a real difference in real life situations when working with external wireless video TX's or monitors. Fingers crossed.

It's a PITA on Canon mirrorless cameras as the non blocking of the usb-c port was prioritized over the HDMI port

Canon always does something like this to their lower tier cameras -- cripple hammer. Canon wants videographers to move up to their cinema line or higher. Take for example focus breathing... Their video centric models do a better job fixing this while their lower tiers just don't. Same with focusing in general -- the video centric are more natural when the "regular" even the V versions just don't.
