Newer Nikon lenses have a few motor types but if I'm not mistaken they support old mechanical (body driven) aperture and focus drive as well (the D6 and somewhat recently F6 film camera were still for sale)

Nikon has a complex ecosystem keeping generally the same mount for many decades and general support for it, where others developed a specific autofocus mount when they moved towards those systems.

Their mirrorless Z mount and lenses don‘t have mechanical drive. Neither do their official F-to-Z adapters - much to the chagrin of people using their older glass.
