Many 80m antennas will not cover both the CW and phone parts of that band, and 
people manage quite fine there. It is entirely possible to make a 160m antenna 
work all across the band but it's just a little more complicated. I don't see 
that as a reason, but an excuse.


With respect, there are at least two major 160m phone contests - CQWW phone and 
CQ 160m phone.
