I downloaded the test images for the K1 II and the Nikon Z7II and the Pentax in pixel shift mode is just completely superior and yet the Nikon gets the nod as best camera? What gives? I can understand that for action shots the Nikon might be better, but for landscape resolution is king and the Pentax is far, far superior.

Which test images did you evaluate? Were they from DPR's studio comparison tool?

Pixel shift has its uses in close range still life, macros, landscapes and architecture. I am not convinced it will provide more resolution for subjects that are far away, due to atmosphere/air turbulence in between camera and subject that will smear details.

you're unlikely to run into air turbulence problems until you reach long focals lengths, of 200mm ish about, in my opinion.
