Yes and No. See, not everyone buys sports gear to make a profit.
that's not a business, it's a hobby, but ultimately it doesn't matter, the lenses are either for sale or they aren't, and in this case they aren't, there just isn't a profitable market for companies to sell niche sports glass.

yeah sony was there, without a native 300/2.8 and the other niche lenses that you claimed are a requirement for shooting sports... i shoot action sports and motorsports, i can't use any of those lenses because the focal lengths are wrong.
the tokyo olympics added baseball, softball, skateboarding, surfing, sport climbing, karate, 3x3 basketball and freestyle BMX, for the most part you don't need expensive oddball lenses to cover those sports.
i'm glad that guys like you and lee woolery are able to carve out an income with youth sports and whatnot, even if it takes the rest of eternity to pay for the gear he summed up the reality of it pretty well: "But glad I don't have to make that decision today because I would look at start-up costs and find another line of work." https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1725899/0#lastmessage
"I have been so used to the weight, size and build quality of the D series camera bodies over the years that my tests with the R6 and R5 (even with battery packs) showed they just were too small and felt toy-like and fragile." https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1725899/0#lastmessage
THIS is the Z9 target.
exactly... it'll be great for a few select nikon owners, but there will be few platform switchers willing to take on a giant porky body with weak battery life and limited lens selection.
did you see the dprtv review of the new tamron 28-75? the voice coil af motor(s?) look really fast and snappy, probably good enough for sports shooting, and it's relatively cheap... it's a good example of what is completely lacking with all of the canikon platforms, it'll bring in the platform switchers and the new photographers.
