Today's Nikon F mount is a very different beast from 1959's F mount but still long term users want to mount their 60 year-old lenses on 2019 bodies.

I think many long term Nikon users are frustrated by modern Nikon cameras. I blame Nikon for sticking so rigidly to the F mount, sure the bayonet itself remains unchanged but pretty much everything around it has moved on. With hindsight it would have been better to do what Canon did and change the lens mount in 1988 when AF became popular. That way there wouldn't be the compatibility problems that provoke so much discussion.
