Of course, tilt and shift were everyday tools with a large format camera, such that they were an integral part of the body design. The "35mm" format was not originally intended for such uses. Now we have cameras like the A7RII that are of sufficient quality and resolution to justify such use, but the lenses and tools have not really caught up.
The theoretical resolution of 4x5 LF film may be very high, but film flatness issues, grain (above a certain resolution all you are scanning is film grain, not useful data), scanning limitations (drum scanners are tricky to use correctly - I used to own a Howtek D4500, and flatbeds suffer CCD flare etc) in practice reduce the effective resolution somewhat - and you cannot easily stitch separate LF shots to form one image as you can with digital capture. If one assumes that around 75mp in a digital sensor is needed fully to match LF film, a single shot from an A7RII is already more than half way there, and with stitching shifted images, it gets all the way there or more.
These are all reasons why a camera like the A7RII deserves native, high quality, but affordable tilt shift lenses.
