Why not move them higher in the band?
The same considerations as for CW and SSB -- antenna bandwidth and
worldwide frequency allocations. FWIW, I heard very little FT8 during
ARRL 160M, possibly because many FT8 ops also work CW. I use it a lot on
160 to work EU, and on 6M to work grids. Like others, I worked a bit of
CW in the FT8 watering hole during ARRL 160 when I saw no signals there.
After all -- band usage is pretty fluid during contests on 160M, with CW
and SSB working well into each others normal range.
