I call total utter BS on this being a reason.
Then why not give us the full monty? Why lie? The simplest explanation is usually the correct one, according to Occam's razor, and in this case the simplest explanation is they are telling the truth. We don't know the details or specs on the 6MT they used on the G80 yet.

If it's about money, they could have made the 8AT more expensive and captured the revenue.
