Regarding Nikon's passion to build retractable lenses: I honestly don't see any other advantage than to have a smaller lens size for transport and storage. Personally, I did not like it on the Nikon 1 lenses, on the DX kit zooms for their DSLRs and I am quite surprised to see it as a "feature" on Z lenses now.
The whole design becomes more complex. If collapsed, the lenses are better protected. But if one of these falls to the (hard) floor when extended, I'm not sure if I could just blow the dust off and keep on using it? And it's not a pro feature, as the 24-70/2.8 doesn's collapse.
