There's no ff lens in any current system that gives 450mm-equiv non-cropped images at the size and weight of Fuji's 70-300.

Yeah, that's where I kind of get stuck, too. I don't mind having a bigger lens at home for running outside for opportunistic wildlife photographs. But I really like the idea of a small, light kit I can travel around with and have up to 300mm APS-C equivalent. My Sigma 100-400 isn't all that big, but considerably bigger than the Fuji 70-300. If Nikon came out with a killer 70-300 lens for Z I could contemplate cropping but then I'd need a pricey Z7 II for the resolution and the lens would have to be very sharp to compete with the Fuji after cropping down to APS-C size.

Canon 100-400 RF f/5.6-8 IS?

Inexpensive, 635g, compact, sharp, FF. Seems to close the gap you’re talking about (I empathise). Of course, it’s a whole system consideration. But an example of compactness as a growing market segment for ILCs?

Edit: Hmmm maybe not quite there…
