I agree, I haven't ever been able to see a legit need for cat6. GigE works perfectly fine with cat5e, and if you anticipate needing anything beyond that, it's stupid to not just go straight to fiber. I've thought about using Cat6 on towers with long runs so there'd be less voltage drop on PoE, but I came to the conclusion that we'd be better off running a separate cable for DC if that was a concern.
