M 4/3 definitely seems to win the variety discussion. The variety obviously does not matter if a system has the lenses you want. Samsung only has like 10 lenses. If those lenses are what you want it would be irrelevant

This is the key, and also why this kind of comparison is of so little practical use. If I need a long zoom, or a fast ultra wide prime, then comparing lenses I don't want just because they happen to have similar field of view and virtual aperture isn't very interesting. This comparison is something everyone should do for themselves when picking a system. List the lenses you need, see which system has them, then compare those systems.
