Most of the time M43 does provide the IQ shooters want. But there are some times when people need more and that is what FF is for. But it is a relatively small amount of the time.

Sure, but you need good and fast lenses if you want to take advantage of the larger sensor. It's the same problem with mirrorless medium format cameras, Fuji and Hasselblad. If you don't have proper lenses, you cannot take full advantage of larger sensor.

Exposure is shutter speed as well, not just the aperture and sensor size....

You don't need fast lens to get benefits ie. landscape where you can use 1/30 or 1/60 shutter speed instead 1/1250 or 1/2000.

Same thing is with the f/4 or f/5.6 lenses when you can use flashes to do the work. Exposure isn't just the camera but it is as well the scene illumination.

The problem is the people who is continually arguing for "identical photograph" like a single method would be only correct way. Like every portrait is needed to be with narrow DOF or blurred background is the quality stamp for sports and wildlife photography, or low noise is the quality requirement etc.

All those are nothing else than gear heads lies to itself to deny the creativity and acceptance of it itself. Easier to blame the gear "If I just would had the FF, I would had a masterpiece!"

Often it looks like people are grabbing the camera and saying:

"Today I am going to make a two masterpieces and get my name to hall of fame as long I follow the rules:

• Narrow DOF
• ETTR
• Fastest possible shutter speed
• Lowest possible ISO"

See isn't it easy to go out and do the masterpieces? That you can translate to shopping list:

1. Get the lowest noise FF sensor
2. Buy the "fastest possible lenses"

Isn't it simple? You walk to the store and you say those two requirement and they will hand you what you want. Then you will go and apply the rules above and you are creating masterpieces no time!
