While this story isn't about Sigma it does make me believe even moreso what I was told a few years back by one of their UK reps that they were waiting on a license agreement from both Canon and Nikon. While Nikon has every right and duty to protect their platform and and only work with who they choose to; I don't think they want their users to have the level choice of glass like on E mount. Individuals will have to decide if that is ok for them or not.
If that were true they would have killed the many FE to Z adapters years ago.
They are most probably just making sure that they get some money from every lens released for Z mount. This isn’t a desire to limit choice, it’s a reasonable business decision.
Do you blame Apple for taking 30% on every transaction through their App Store?
Sony was the incumbent and had to take decisions that may not be the smartest for them. It isn’t surprising that Nikon is playing their cards differently.
