Nikon is trying to be consistent with what they've done for over a decade. One simplification on the Zf is that it doesn't have the Steady/Erratic subject motion option, and this could be an issue if your camera handling is shaky.

Probably a naive question here but doesn’t IBIS at least help in this situation? I suppose though when not using tracking the focus point has to move if the camera moves.

It does and it doesn't. Remember, with VR set to Normal the VR system recenters, which can mean that if the camera is moving much the viewfinder (and thus the focus stream) jumps.
