EVERY single engine and transmission combination has to be federally certified and EPA tested which can cost in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they put a six speed behind the same V8 that's always had a five speed before, it has to be re-certified. Since the new engines they are coming out with will have to be certified themselves, then by adding a new transmission at that time they don't incur extra certification costs.
