I think the problem with Arnold's 1980 showing was that he wasn't at his best.  People think he should have lost because they compare him to his best showings, not necessarily the other competitors in that particular show.  Even at say 80% Arnold was clearly the best at the 1980 Mr. O.

Arnold needed the 1980 olympia to boost his name for hollywood, rather than being the 1975 Mr Olympia has been turned actor, he wanted a fresh title.

The reigning Mr Olympia or previous champion from 5 years ago.

Sounds better in auditions no doubt.

I say he called in a favour with Mr Weider seeing Arnold made modern bodybuilding what it is.

Arnold at 60% of his best was still good enough to win.

I think for the 1980 Mr O he knew he wouldn't be able to bring his usual size so focused more on conditioning.
