The D850 seems to be a great camera, and I would be very tempted if it was a Canon. However, I don't see why 5DIV users envy the D850 so much that switching is considered. Few of the the spec advantages the D850 has over the 5DIV will make a positive difference in real world use. The higher resolution will result in more noise at higher ISO, more storage requirements , slower editing and a demand for sharper lenses. The 30 megapixels in the 5DIV seems just about perfect.
The only thing I really envy about the D850 is the larger viewfinder, but then again, the one in the 1DX/1DXII is even larger.
Canon ergonomics, user interface and lenses are the major differentiators to me. Small differences in specs doesn't matter much in everyday use.
