Hard to understand why one would think 85mm doesn't provide enough float for most conditions.

Think low angle deep pow (aka Vail).  There are plenty of areas at some mountains where if it's deep and you don't have speed you will be trudging through the snow instead of sailing.  If you've got the steep pitches and never have to negotiate anything less to get back to the chair then you're probably fine on whatever you choose, but in the Front Range Rockies the 80s ski doesn't cut it at most mountains.
