A 1.4x on top of a 1.6x is Canon's middle finger to the video community.
The D500 has a 15x crop on top of a 1.5x crop for 4K video. It's great for long lenses and wildlife. Not so much for anything else. Having noted that, people who complain about the crop on a 5D MkIV have never tried to shoot 4K video on a Nikon. Any Nikon. It's like having your nuts in a vice while someone is pulling out your fingernails. Not fun at all.
Video is definitely one area where Canon beats Nikon with an ugly stick.
Looks like Nikon has changed that around with the D850, according to many prominent reviewers on Youtube. Canon still has one big advantage in that dual-pixel AF is the only system out there considered good enough for continuous AF during video, but if you are not trying to AF during video, the D850 is earning pretty high video marks.
The 6D Mk2 is also unique with the full articulated screen, which would be another big advantage for shooting video. I wish Canon would get it's act together and back up that class-leading DPAF with some more camera development in both low-ISO DR and 4K. My lenses don't work on Nikons!
I've not been a video guy with my DSLRs, actually, although in the past few days my interest has shifted because of a series of projects and suddenly my long dormant video interests (I specialized in video for a decade in the pre-DSLR days) have been piqued. My mind is racing with all of the wonderful IQ advantages and DOF control a full frame video camera would present me with, but there is no camera in the Canon line-up right now that serves my (and many other still/4K hybrid shooters) interests well.
