NEF Nikon Z6 3 Still not natively supported.

I don't understand why Apple doesn't use the code from its PixelMatorPro or Image Transfer apps that view Nikon Z6 3 NEF files ?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 18

Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, and visionOS 26 - Apple Support

Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and visionOS 2 - Apple Support


Both lists include "Nikon Z6III", although there is the footnote "Lossless RAW format only."

I checked the Sonoma list, and there is no "Z6III" there. So it looks like Apple added support as of Sequoia (can't tell whether it was 15.0 or a later point release).
