no one would shoot a 25mm lens on a 4/3 sensor if they were looking for subject isolation.

Everybody knows that you are not going to get good subject isolation with a 25mm lens on any format.

They would shoot 50mm or above, just like someone on FF would do:

Industar 52mm f/2.8 ND61

"No one"...

"Everybody"...

you make these blanket statements with such certainty.  I would advise that you just speak for yourself,.

In  my own opinion, interesting portraits can be made using lenses with a normal or slightly wider than normal field of view, using a shorter distance from the subject.  Plenty of isolation with this technique.
