You seem to be misunderstanding the intention of my first post. I only said that this adapter has no bearing on the performance of the sensor.

It has bearing on how the noise and capacity of the sensor can be utilized, i.e. starting with the same  50mm f/1.8 lens:

APS-C: ISO 1600, 35mm@f/1.2, 1/60th

FF: ISO 3200, 50mm@f/1.8, 1/60th

Both sensors receive the same amount of total light. Brightness will be the same. Noise will be the essentially same. DOF will be the same. FOV will be the same. Resolution in lp/ph will be the same. What is the difference you are referring to relative to this scenario?

My point was that yes, the lenses will behave more-or-less as though they are on a 35mm/FF camera, but the captures won’t be improved to match the quality available from the larger sensor.

You have not yet explained what part of the capture will be inferior -- assuming equivalent technology in the FF vs. APS-C. Yes, for a somewhat contrived case (shooting at wide open on the beach where you can't lower the ISO or raise the shutter speed) there is a potential difference, but mostly not.
