Nikon to stop making SLR cameras and focus on mirrorless models?

There's no such thing as an image relying on the capabilities of a Z9. In terms of raw image quality, it uses the same-ish sensor as a high-end DSLR, say a D850. Resolution and dynamic range are highly similar.

A mirrorless system does not create better pictures. It does increase the likelihood that you capture the image you want at all.

Sure there is. For example consider the problems involved in taking a high resolution picture for a fast moving but difficult to focus object in low light. A Z9 will do brilliantly but cheaper cameras -- not so much.

A camera is not just the image sensor, modern sensors are all fairly close technologically in the grand scheme of things.
