     Who needs 46 Mps is probably not the primary question, as you can choose from RAW 46/25/11 Mps, the question is who wants the D850 and why?

  

 

I agree with most of your points, but the RAW-size I had to learn to be very careful about it's use - with respect to 3rd party RAW-converters. It took a very long while until Capture One fully supported the various RAW-sizes of D7100 (which is no pro-camera, but anyway covered with a list of "supported cameras"). Same with Fuji X-T2 compressed RAW support.

 

But in theory, this can save a lot diskspace.
