Luckily, I have Z7 and A7r iv both, along with D850 and I have to say that Z7 gets more use than D850 and A7r iv combined by a lot. No need to compare Z7 to earlier Sony generations.
I agree that Sony A7r iv has better focus but it does not mean that Z7 can't AF.
If I drive in a major congested city, car A top speed is 250 km/hr and car B top speed is only 150 km/hr but is much more comfortable, I don't see any reason why I would need car A most of the time.
I still use A7r iv when I need it but 95% of the time, I prefer to use Z7.
Sony A7r iv with 100-400GM cannot be beat by Z system and I will need that but for portrait, landscape, street and every day use, Z7 is my preferred system, no question about it (when GFX 100 size and weight is an issue and GFX AF falls behind Z7 quite a bit ).
It's good to get a perspective from a multi system user which flies in the face of what Jarid Polin has said in a way, but his Youtube thoughts are meant to be polarizing to get click bait. Suteetat is unlikely to make it as a click bait Youtuber, .
What Suteetat has said is why the Zeds have been gaining traction, they seem to be to many a better camera to *use* rather than the greatest (at the time) at everything. I am not saying all people find that, or even need that, as many just see it as a tool and possibly need the AF abilities etc of the Sony A7R IV or D850 which is fine - right tool for the job.
