At one time, sawmills cut green lumber to 2"x8". A higher-humidity board would shrink more than an dryer board, and in any case, the board would be reduced in size by planing (smoothing the rough-cut sides.)
Seems to me that the industry standardized the size of wood about 40 yeas ago. Now, sawmills calculate the size to cut so that dried and planed wood will be a standard size when dried. A 2x6 is actually 1.5 inches thick and 7.25 inches wide.
