defocused background is associated with "you zoom as much as possible" or with macro, not with aperture. At 5mm FL and ƒ/3.5 the hyperfocal is estimated at 1,5m. That means that all from 0.75m to infinity is sharp enough at max aperture. In fact, a smartphone likely have better background defocus ability than the Sx160 at wide angle.

FWIW, the aperture does give you a noticeable amount of DOF control on these cameras

5mm, f/3.5

5mm f/8

80mm f7.5

80mm f/16 (CHDK, probably closer to f/11 in reality)

First is proxy, second at full telephoto... which does not contradict what I said. You know, I started with a FZ18, so I quite know what can be done with this kind of camera.
