Straight 6 injector swap in 4 hours vs the V8 that took me 2 days
Last month I pulled a 6.0 Powerstroke injector in my buddy's shop near Tulsa and it was done before lunch, but the 6.7 Cummins job in the same bay ate two full days because I had to pull the whole valve cover and the wiring harness kept fighting me, so is there a reason everyone swears by the inline six for serviceability or am I just getting old?

Did you ever watch a guy try to do a timing belt on a Honda while eating a sandwich? That was my old boss, swear he could do it with one hand tied behind his back. I still think about that every time a job kicks my butt, because the real issue is how much junk is stacked on top of the engine, not how many cylinders it has. My brother's old 300 straight six in an F150 had so much room you could sit in the bay and have a picnic while changing plugs. Then I look at my wife's 3.5 Ecoboost and I need a step stool and a prayer just to see a coil pack. So yeah, the inline layout usually helps, but a lot of it comes down to how the maker stuffed everything in there.
