"The lens incorporates an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism. The following cameras are compatible with this lens:
D5, D4 series, D3 series, Df, D850, D810, D810A, D800 series, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300 series, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100, Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4, J5 with FT-1, Nikon 1 V1, V2, V3 with FT-1, Nikon 1 S1, S2 with FT-1"
My emphasis.
I would expect the 500mm PF to have a similar range of usability.
So unless the article you quote from is speaking of some other lens, I think it's plain wrong?
Or, less likely Nikon are wrong?
All that said I think it's unlikely anyone buying a 500mm PF lens will be intending to use it on a D1 or even a D2x
