Well, with D2 and D5 removed, the circuit now is only Vin and three resistors in series.
What is the current flowing the resistors?
According to Ohm's law, what is the voltage across R6?

I don't think that is a valid statement.
I just simulated all cases and I am right. The voltage across R6 doesn't change at all.
The ground symbol here seems to be needed for simulation purpose not have any effect on the result.
That also makes sense. The voltage across each component should not depend on where we choose ground reference.
However, if we measure voltage at each node in reference to ground, the voltage will different in each case (each case with different ground point).
