I agree that too small a camera actually doesn't work for me either.
My Nikon V1 is just such a camera but my Canon G12 is fine as is my Fuji XT3, my D3S is great but heavy, my Z7 is great and not at all heavy.
Given that I said the D3 was the right size for me I can be sure that the Z6/7 would be too small for comfort. A grip on a Z6 would probably make it the right size but Nikon made a complete mess of the grip.
I want a camera with a second set of controls, just like the D3, but around the same size and half the weight. I see absolutely no reason why Nikon couldn't produce a Z series camera that does that, even if it does need an optional grip, but it appears the Z6/7 isn't that camera. Given Nikon's normal approach is to put capabilities into camera bodies that won't be required for several years the designers of the Z series have dropped that particular ball.
