Just for fun. I know it's a loaded question as I'm not giving you context. so, just answer based on whatever you shoot and like.

Why no 800mm?

The 500 pf is a great combination of reach, low weight, and fast AF.

I’d vote all of the above if I had the budget. As it is, I’ve got the 500pf+tc and 100-400 so I could mark those…
Just voted for what I currently have now, because by association I guess that’s what I prefer? 
Actually, sports and wildlife needs are reasonably different. Have no idea what conclusion the OP can draw from the answers.
Availability bias. I suffer, too.Just voted for what I currently have now, because by association I guess that’s what I prefer?
My favorite all time lens is the 600 mm tc. I can’t travel without it. It always makes it to my bag first. if I want to add another lens, it would be the 400 tc. Another lens that I use a lot specially while shooting videos is the 70-200 mm f 2.8 which really very flexible and very sharp lens. I love it

I'd prefer to have all of them, but the cost is too much, so I settle for the 800 pf and the 100-400 for reach and versatility. I also kept my f mount 400 f2.8 and the 1.4x. Seems like a good value with today's prices and its plenty sharp.

Good question.
He added it. It's near the bottom....
I shoot Sony but voted 400mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8

300mm f/4 pf
My favorite is the z 800 pf. My second choice would be the 14-24mm v2.8. But the latter lens does not qualify because it is pretty much worthless for photographing wildlife. The only way you could get that close to a wild creature would be if it was unconscious or dead.
