Apparently, Nikon has shown an unusual care for the customers.

Let me be the first to say >:( about Zii body updates :-[

Interesting. I don't have the software, but I suppose I will do the update anyway. I keep hoping they'd throw in a trap focusing fix, but that's wishful thinking I'm sure.

I would reckon that this sentence in the link might just be on the money: "Or, maybe a Nikon engineer owned a D7100 that they really wanted to get working again for their specific use case. "

Do you have any problem with Z7II?

Unfortunately, it should be difficult to add a a new feature to a decade old hardware. But I believe that keeping its firmware latest is always worthwhile.

Hmm...I would be very much interested in the "specific use case"!

Just a quick note, I don't think changing the trap focusing issue would require any real change. I think Nikon did it with a firmware change on some of the full frame models which had dropped it, and it's re-enabled on the D7200. A little annoyance, but I wouldn't mind having it, if not for trapping moving subjects, for hand-held closeups when I'm a little unsteady.
