“just received my Z50. Took some test RAW photos and loaded them first to my iPhone, then iPad, then MacBook. In all cases I was using the native photo app. None of my devices was able to render the image or use the raw files. What do I need to do?”

Everyone—thanks for suggesting many alternative software choices. None of those solve the problem of letting me edit/view the Z50 Raw photos in the native iOS/macOS apps. If i wanted to convert to jpeg, i would just shoot in jpeg. Luckily, the most recent updates to iOS 13.3.1 and macOS 10.15.3 solve the problem by adding native support for Z50 NEF files.
