Even LDO linear regulators need at least 0.5 above their rating to work right, and 2s lipo or 6 NiMH cells can get down to ~6v, which would't work well. So, they use 5v and problem solved. However, being linear, efficiency is poor at anything above 2s/6cells and should use an external switching BEC to avoid thermalling the ESC BEC...
