the other thing is, the C6.R engine has 2 cylinders firing at a time iirc. but to answer your question... COST. the cranks they are using are NOT cheap and are tailor made for the application.
gm has already said the C7 will be 6.2L

From an OE standpoint a crank is a crank, it doesn't cost any more or less to make a 180* than any other crank...
It prob comes down to things like NVH, or even the tone of the exhaust
