This is more of a feature thats moderately easy to include, so why not offer it?

I personally read nothing into it.

I didn't know that teams did do 6 motor tanks. It makes sense to do if you can spare the motors. Guess that means there won't be uber powered 6 CIM drives. Darn.

Many teams in the past few years have built the capability into their drive as well, however to save weight or to use the 5th and 6th drive motors elsewhere, didn't implement them.
