if so, about image quality, handling, overall system flexibility, or what?

Obviously only important to the OP, not very useful for anyone else.

Only trying to clear up the "small format has cheap small lenses myth" or hell prove it right if it is. I know this is the internet so it really does not matter this "fact" will exist for a long time regardless of evidence.

To be useful it would obviously have to include cameras with similar characteristics and all the available lenses, which of course would make the list so large that it would be impossible to use.

I did not want to tread down the "superior sytem" path. It is a dumb discussion. Way too many intangibles. There was a fun one with the Em1 and A7ii with 24-70 f4 and whatever the equivalent oly lens was. It was interesting because they were almost the same size and price. Very close in feautures with the three big differences being weathersealing, touchscreen, and sensor size. Honestly it really does not matter if one of them won every single category. A purchaser might decide they just like the look or feel of one over the other and good for them. It is their money

I suspect that anyone actually interested in this would check the cameras and lenses they wanted and compare them as to size, price and quality.

Absolutely. A purchaser has to have an idea and trim down the playing feild to direclty compare. ALso hopefully get some hands on experience too
