That Cameraville channel is very useful. The young man who hosts it is a little to
animated sometimes. If his hands were tied he would have trouble speaking.
He's OK though.

I took photos with my D5100 18-55 kit lens, then took the same photos, same settings, with my 55mm f2.8 macro. Couldn't tell the difference. "Kit lens" doesn't mean "low quality" images.

I do not know who this guy is, this is the first time I see him but if he was in front of me I would ask him why to compare a tradicional dSLR with a mirrorless. The D500 was introduced January 6, 2016 while the mirrorless is only 1 year old. Technology has changed considerably in 6 years. One camera is full frame and the other is a cropped sensor. Because it is 6 years old the D500 is cheaper. I have nothing against a cropped sensor, I am still using a D7000.
The young man did not talk about AF. Since I have not used either camera I have to base my comments on what I have read and know. The AF of the mirrorless Z9 is not better than the one built into the D500. I am sure a wildlife photographer has all of the frames needed when shooting with a D500 and in regard to noise none of the cameras sporting a mirror is noise free. I am not a prolific wildlife shooter but I never had any issues with noise when using Nikon cameras. A mirrorless has to be less noisy since there is no mirror to slap.
The Z9, from what I know, is a heavy camera. I went with Olympus for my mirrorless needs because except for the OM-D 1X their cameras are pretty small, especially the Pen series. I surely do not want to spend $5000 in a camera and I surely do not want to travel with so much weight. I could be happy with a Z50 instead. Lenses for mirrorless Nikon cameras are not cheap while lenses for the D500 are budget friendly. In regard to quality of the images I have not heard anyone here owning one to voice any complaints. I would have nothing against traveling with a D500 and a couple of primes or two small and compact zooms and the 18-70 f3.5-4.5 AF-S comes to mind. It was a kit lens I believe for the D200 but it is in my humble opinion an excellent performer.
The young man was comparing pears and apples. A mirrorless is a totally different camera and technology than an APS camera.

Why not? Maybe you find out the differences in IQ are minor and the cost difference is not minor. …why to compare a tradicional dSLR with a mirrorless…
Everyone has different criteria so why not make the comparison, it will be useful to many people.

It doesn't matter what is in front of your camera if a mirror is still sitting behind the lens.
