A juvy race at 6f would probably destroy the existing 8.5 furlong juvy.
In this day and age, most trainers probably don't like pushing their top-level talent beyond a mile at age 2 but many do it in order to try to win a BC race and BC money. If there is a 6f alternative.....who would push to win the 8.5f race? We will end up with six allowance-caliber horses competing in the BC juvenile.
I didn't mind the expansion to 11 (although I don't think they should have added another juvy race) but 16 would be absolutely insane.
