What does that EV difference relate to in real world use? I'm trying to weight the differences between the 6D2 and the 5D4. I know you all mentioned landscape photography in particular would be worse, but what other real world impact does that lower DR have compared to the 5D4?
Many times I moderately apply shadows and highlights recovery to increase the realism (I think that our brain tends to do the same processing against our eyes capture... except just when looking at a printed photo or in a monitor). Usually moderately, otherwise the "HDR look" would betray this intention.
So, when shooting with a sensor having a good DR at ISO 100 (in good light), the shadows will have less noise (increasing the shadows brightness raises the noise). Even the lens vignetting correction may benefit, because is indeed a shadows push.
So if you don't feel the need to raise the shadows in your pictures, this parameter is less important. And shooting in lower DR (e.g. an overcast day) where one can do longer exposures without clipping the highlights (to later apply a negative exposure correction, which leaves room to push the shadows without getting noise) also makes it irrelevant.
People shooting at high ISO (from 800/1600) will neither care at all, because most DSLR cameras have similar DR there.
And anyway, some scenes exceed the DR of any current sensor (e.g. a indoor picture with a window showing a bright outdoor) and would require merging several exposures.
A higher DR may be useful, but to a degree depending on the situation.
