The actual good news is this single line in the rumor post:
"New Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 mirrorless lens is also rumored for the Olympics"
Protogs that currently use (and need) a camera like the 1Dx/D6 likely wouldn't consider switching without native lenses of that kind. There is hardly anything to gain by switching to a ML body and then having to use the "same old" lenses with an adapter.
On the other hand, by developing high end lenses, Nikon has to get the Z9 right. IOW: there is hope, the camera will perform on the same high level as the D6.
