Nikon abandoned the 1" sensor DL cameras before even starting, apparently figuring it wasn't a profitable enough segment.

No. Because they could not get the processors to work and they tried to get out 3 cameras from scratch simultaneously, one having a radically wide field of view, outgunning all the carefully and cautiously developed opposition cameras at a stroke. It was not profitable after a 2 year delay after announcement to sort out problems.

It was a project doomed from the very outset.
