Earlier today, I dropped a Contact Us message to Sony product support asking them to consider removing the arbitrary limit, since there are many lenses without a Sony equivalent...the Sigma 200mm and 300-600 with unlocked FPS would be excellent for me. Why do you think Sony would do that when it would negatively affect their sales of Sony lenses?
The FPs and TC restrictions definitely hurt the sales of Sony cameras, and in my case, lenses too.
If I could use the Sigma 300-600mm f4 on Sony with TC's and 30fps, I would definitely be buying another Sony camera, and then picking up a 28-70 f2 to use on my current Sony camera. Currently, though, I would be better off getting a second Z8 to adapt the 300-600 to. So currently I am waiting to see what lenses / cameras companies announce by Spring to decide on gear upgrades. If Nikon puts out the lenses I am looking for before Sony, I can definitely see the majority of my kit returning to Nikon.
Now, how many photographers are in the same boat as me, and how much money Sony may be leaving on the table, I have no idea.
