So you want almost nothing the same to compare

I suspect the line about 4/3 DOF being deep comes from a misinterpretation of "Circle of Confusion" (CoC).
No, it it's because to get the same diagonal FOV coverage (ignoring aspect ratio) and the same size print, you have to either use a lens with a shorter focal length OR use the same lens at a greater distance.
For your "fair" comparison, you want different distances, different focal lengths, possibly different aspect ratios, etc....so make everything un-equal.
There are still people arguing that f1.4 = f2.8 so this debate is unlikely to evaporate quietly.
Actually, to get just under 3ft of DOF with a 25mm lens at 10ft subject distance, you need f/2.0. Just plug the numbers into your favorite DOF calculator.
Why is is so hard to understand that lenses don't change properties when put on different cameras? F/1.4 is always F/1.4.
For DoF, here is the reality...
- FF 50mm, F/2.8 at 10 feet, DoF=2.06 feet
- M43 50mm, F/2.8 at 10 feet, DoF=1.02 feet
You can change the parameters however you want to get your desired results too. For example you could move the FF camera to 7 feet to get the same DoF. You could crop the FF image to a 4:3 aspect ratio, and move the M43 camera a foot or back, etc. Heck, you could even change distance, focal length, apertures and use un-equal ARs to try to make a point!
