For wildlife in particular it is a matter of angle of view and the
possibility to get your subject in the frame.
If I use a FF 300 mm lens on the 36 MP K-1 and crop it in Lightroom to
the same angle of view as an APS-C lens of nominal 300 mm I loose a lot
of pixels as it would result in 16 MP pictures (MP divided by crop
factor squared).
I would be better off using either a 24MP APS-C camera with a dedicated
APS-C lens, or (more expensive) a max. 450 mm FF lens on the K-1.

This is a fallacy. It remains 300mm max. The cropped APS-C simply sees
a narrower field of view (2/3 of FF) giving the illusion of a longer
focal length.
