Nikon decided (rightly or wrongly) that a shutter is too delicate to use as a sensor shield. The only Nikon cameras with this are the Z8 & Z9 which don't have shutters but have a sensor shield instead.
For sensor cleaning, they are saying you need the camera powered on (which bother me also) but you need to do the same with an M11which costs a lot more.
The camera being on is one thing. But I have heard that the sensor being activated may statically attract dust and keep it from being blown off.
On the M11 the camera is on to hold the shutter open but the sensor has no power going to it. That is why you must enter a specific program to clean the sensor. The M11 also automatically closes the shutter to protect the sensor any time the lens is removed. Leica must think this important. Does the Zf impliment either of those featuures?
I haven't cleaned the M11 with the new firmware, but when I did before you entered a mode from the menu but you needed to leave the camera on. Did you clean the sensor with the camera turned off? That didn't work when I tried it.
The Zf never closes the shutter with the camera on and not taking a picture, I explained that. You can disagree with the implementation but that is how Nikon does it. Not everyone does what Sony does (that goodness).
