An designer's decision, not a photographer's one, I'm afraid.
And, for me, a reason for not getting quickly accustomed to such two-wheels
interface after years and years of lens aperture ring operation.
For such a reason (among others) ten years ago I sold my Z1 (purchased one
month before) and bought a MZ-5, and then a MZ-S, but that's another story.

top-range camera. And , please, please, the aperture wheel must be on the
front (diaphragm side) and the shutter speed wheel must be on the back
(shutter side).
Amen. Having used the Z-1p, I am also perplexed as to why they put the
aperture at the back.
