Sony catched up with their lenses and it already had the adaptability of older lenses from various manufacturers as an advantage.
In terms of AF-speed the α9 already set a standard hard to beat with DSLRs. And in terms of AF-area coverage DSLR owners became loosers. Now Sony camera can also track in movie mode.
Edgy design is a question of taste, I would not say any other manufacturer found the golden recipe of beauty and function coming together. If I had to, I could live with the Sony design.
The only thing holding CaNikon owners back from changing their horses are the habits of usage. I already learnt the differences between mirrorless Nikon and DLSR Nikon - some important things for DSLRs are simply irrelevant to ask for in a mirrorless. 3D-tracking never gave me reliably constant results with my photographic themes. Face detection on Z 7, even with some misses is still better than the always jumping AF-points in any Nikon DSLR. I use them less and less.
I see a complete selection of lenses at Sony's side, a boring, long-lasting roadmap on Nikon's. I see some accessories on Sony's side Nikon doesn't have - additional battery grip? Once one could say, "Sony only can do electronics, but CaNikon does the great glass" - not any longer, Nikon produces in China high price lenses with some flaws like distortion and apparently also variable quality in the series (of the 14-30, that is).
I wonder how long we Nikon users will remain patient and loyal.
