> Why? It's easy and convenient to control from the camera body.
The Nikon F6 is a $2300 body that you can still buy new today from Nikon. F6 users cannot control the Aperture of E-Type lenses from the body. If Nikon (and other MFG) added an aperture ring to the E-Type lenses, they could.
We're talking about something no more complex than the focus ring Nikon put on their cheap AF-P series lenses. I get that not everyone wants an aperture ring, but it's useful, and some people will appreciate it.
Sony adds aperture rings to a bunch of their high-end portraiture lenses, and they've never had a compatibility reason to do so.
