Geoff dont forget that on a Hasselblad/Mamiya/PhaseOne you can switch backs which is the same concept of modular components.

Re: "Clearly there is a market for a pro spec camera with a high pixel count (D850) but a little imagination could have made it available with or without a grip in the same way as the F4/F4s." 
I definitely agree with this point.

In an earlier post you mentioned the lack of a battery grip for the Z7 and Z6.  I cannot believe that Nikon were so stupid or short sighted as to not include the contact points at least even if they hadnt designed the end product.  But this is a major loss I think as it means that the rumoured Z7s and Z6S which is said to have two card slots needs to address this as well.   I dont often need the extra battery but sometimes it is essential and I dont want to have to carry the battery insert ( EP-5B   https://www.lcegroup.co.uk/New/nikon-ep-5b-power-connector_23045.html ) and a big V-battery plate so I can have long durability.  In fact I built something like this for myself.  https://www.adorama.com/ipmvnk14.html
