I went for the walk and listen old podcast about his 60 memorable games book. They mentioned (obvious fact), that the game of the century is not in the book. Not enough memorable :)

IIRC this was because Fischer had done a previous best games collection of some sort, and the Byrne game was in that book. For 60MG he didn't want to duplicate anything so he didn't include it, not because it wasn't memorable.

Game 7 Fischer - Sherwin (pages from 30 to 33) - is the first game in M60MG. Then 2 more games from Portoroz vs Larsen and Petrosian are in both books.
He probably had other reasons not to include the game. Maybe even the publisher's request to keep up sales of the first book.
