Well, it is super weird because inserted your own preference as the default comparison. No, the default comparison is the A1 vs the Z9. Not an A1 with an accessory attached.
And you inserted your own preference for smaller cameras. I'm not a review channel. Everybody here is presenting their own perspective and opinions for their own needs. Heck, half the opinions on auto-focus on this forum seem to come from people interested in shooting birds - not exactly something most sports/action shooters care about. Now I personally am not bothered by it, and I do think that there is a lot of value in their opinion too.

That isn't evidence in any way that there is a significant amount of people who would use grips. The existence of an accessory doesn't prove demand.
Sony/Nikon/Canon/Panasonic/Fuji and dozens of third-parties all invest time and money and engineering resources into a product that nobody wants. Maybe they know their market more than you - just something to consider.

And you also completely ignored my response to the E mount having 4x+ the amount of native lenses as Nikon. You claimed that third party lenses are less valuable because you can't get 30fps, yet with Nikon, you can only EVER get 30fps as JPEGS , and so 20fps is the max for raws, which is a negligible amount of difference compared to 15fps.
One of the the major selling points of an sports/action camera is FPS , along with fast, accurate focusing, etc. You're beating the drum on third-party lenses when there are none that can actually take advantage of the A1's speed. This is an (AFAIK) artificial limitation imposed by Sony. Not very open of them. This comparison is A1 vs Z9, not A7R vs Z7.
1. I didn't though. The product is the A1. A small, lightweight camera. I didn't make it such. You simply decided to add on an accessory and pretend that that should be the default comparison. It isn't.
2. Companies make accessories that few people use. This is nothing new. Sony literally labels small and lightweight as one of their 5 key focuses and designs. Selling a product doesn't automatically make it a best seller.
3. I think comparing 20fps in raw files for the Z9 vs 15 fps raw files on the A9 or A1 is an insignificant difference.
4. Cameras are generally not used for only one single purpose, and this makes 3rd party native lenses absolutely relevant.
