I'm pretty sure Bitcoin payment processors like Bitpay aren't waiting for 6 full confirmations.

yeah. Looks like it's configurable.

https://bitpay.com/downloads/bitpayApi.pdf “transactionSpeed” - "medium" An invoice is considered to be "confirmed" after 1 block confirmation (~10 minutes).

BitPay doesn't wait for anything; it's the merchant that chooses how many confirmations to wait for (and incurs the risk of this choice).
