Do you not consider Balard, Luongo, Devlin, O'Neill as 6's?
they work well in double pivots, but if you have a single 6 you usually want them physically dominant and technically strong at the same time, which is very rare. If a team plays a single 6 effectively, it would be rare that they are below 185cm and all three of those players are quite short. This is true even in really technical, "short friendly" teams like spain. Busquets is 189cm for instance

I'd still consider them a #6.
 
Are they all in double pivots at theie clubs?
looking at their heatmaps on sofascore, its complicated. Devlin is the closest to a sole pivot as his midfield partner moves forward a lot more often in what can sometimes look like a diamond (Diamonds are different to a sole 6 with two attacking mid in front of you because your wide midfielders are closer to you to give the 6 more support in defence). O'Niell looks like he is in a double pivot, while Luongo and Balard look to have a midfield that rotates a lot, kind of like 3 central mids with fluid roles if that makes sense
 

Another reason why you need quantity of players and not just quality in europe. You never know when a player has a long term injury or a strange club situation like kuol or arzani
