I just think the amount of handwringing people (especially ones who very obviously from their complaints knew next to nothing about using flash) did over it with the original 6D was ridiculous. One guy once told me that it made it harder for him to control ambient light for studio shots. 1/6th of a stop too much ambient light, like really? In your studio?
I could see the decision being made with the opposite motivation. While an Xsync of 1/160 s would be more convenient for the 1/3-increment folks (which, let's face it, is pretty much everyone!), maybe they thought, well, sure...we could limit it to 1/160 s, but based on the shutter motor/curtain performance it can actually do 1/180 s, so let's go with that instead of nerfing the camera by artifically limiting it by 1/6-stop.
Just some food for thought.
