I tend to doubt that a crop sensor Nikon mirrorless is that much a priority with Nikon since DX glass is less expensive and used more by hobbyists, etc. The higher prices for FF glass that advanced users have is a much greater investment that Nikon should be motivated to protect.
So what are the stats on hobbyists vs advanced users with Nikon cameras? I see a lot of posts here from 3000 and 5000 series cameras.

I was only trying to make the point about the investment in glass. Nikon (prior to the Z series) was very good about making newer bodies that could use older legacy glass. If you're on of those people who has a lot of FF investment in glass, some running into 5 figures, you would not remain a Nikon fan if this glass becomes expensive paperweights.

If you are using that FF glass on a DX dslr, most would work equally well on a mirrorless DX Nikon with the FTZ adapter. If you were using DX lenses 'my guess' is that they will work on a DX "Z" body with the adapter.
The adapter is nothing more that a spacer with pass through electrical contacts.

It sounds as though maybe you have the money to purchase any camera you like but you can get good used D500 At a reasonable price at some of the better retailers.
