that's not true, though. any boxed wrench will touch at 6 points. 
craftsman used to sell curiously cut open ends which -- they said -- was applying the pressure to the side of the hex rather than the edge. anybody knows what I'm talking about?
To your first statement, I have to disagree. With a 6-point, every square mm of bolt head surface is touching wrench. How is that not better? 
To your second statement, are you talking about line wrenches, like for brake lines and whatnot?
