Why? PINs are limited to 4 digits in many markets, so it's not exactly extreme for a developer to not consider the (to them) edge case of 6 digit PINs on foreign cards.

Conversely, it seems very possible to support 6 digit PINs and yet still make a ton of horrible implementation mistakes, security and otherwise.
