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.
