ref from my statement about the Z9 shutter/dust shield:
as to the dust shield (shutter) which is not a component of the shooting system and just a optional use protective component seems to only benefit me. i see no real liability.
for historic info only:
granted the Z9 has no mechanical shutter assy but using the wayback machine back in 1988 and 1996 the Nikon F4 and F5 shutter assy used CF blades in their shutter assy's

Absolutely, it is a benefit to protect your sensor from dust. But, that is true to the same level in cameras that are mechanical shutterless optional. This has been available for who knows how many years. My nearly 8 year old leica has this dust sheild feature. It is neither new nor innovative, and it surely doesn't prove that Nikon designs their own sensors, which was the genisis of this discussion. By the way, I do beleive that Nikon designs theur own sensors in some cases. The Z9 being one. I just don't think the dust shutter proves that.
I also know that there are certain cases where having the option mechanical shutter solves probles that currently cannot be solved without that feature. Yes, they are rare, and many (even most?) may not encounter them. But they exists.
