I understand your point about effective stacks, I realise we can only win 16bb. But you're putting a value on 1bb that is equal to 1bb in a cash table.
The reason the flop is five times cheaper for us is simple...the value I place on 1bb in a HUSNG is determined by our stack size relative to his. 1bb is worth 1/16th of his stack, and 1/80th of ours. That's a five-fold difference. It means we can see five times more flops than him. If someone offers you a beer for a dollar, and then offers me five beers for a dollar, is the beer costing the same for us both?
Our stack is worthless, just like his, until we have 100% of the chips in play. The value of 1bb has nothing to do with buy-in, like in cash tables. That means a reward of 16bb in return for 1bb is different. In this example, a reward of 16bb changes the value of our stack from nothing to everything. On a cash table, 16bb simply changes the value of our stack by 16bb.
