I thought the a1 was the first and succeeding models also have this feature, am I wrong about that?
The A1 has a regular mechanical shutter as well so therefore it does not have a purpose-built sensor shield, but it has an option to use the actual shutter as a dust shield, which is better than nothing, you just need to be super careful around it. The A1 sensor is a bit slower than the Z8/Z9 but not by much, it could have gotten away without a shutter as well but the mechanical shutter gives them the option of 1/400 flash sync which is nice for some people.
Everone tries to make a big deal about this and who was first and Nikon's BS about damaging the shutter.
All film cameras had the shutter down to protect the film when changing lenses. I don't read about this causing users to damage the shutters.
Could it be because there was a mirror between the mount and the shutter?
Any way you look at it, protecting the rather robust sensor glass with a clearly fragile shutter is a terrible idea.
This has nothing to do with brands, it's basic common sense.

What is actual common sense is the facts of history.
The millions of cameras pre slr had their shutters closed when changing lenses. No mirrors in them, that history negates your logic about that.
The Leica cameras from the very first digital M decades ago had the shutter down during lens changes. That also flies in the face of your definition of common sense.
The hundreds of thousands maybe millions of current digital cameras being sold with this feature also are not having this problem. This includes your own A9III (you may be choosing not to use it) and are not having problems. This also negates your claim of common sense.
In my opinion an optional feature that adds value like keeping dust from negatively impacting your images without creating problems makes common sense to include.
With such a long period of time and such a huge sample base from which to draw conclusions, it makes more common sense to include the feature than using theoretical risk with no data to back it up as a reason to delete the feature.
This is not just about the 6III, it is about the whole Nikon ICL mirrorless line. Nikon should at the very minimum give it's users the option.
