Albert, I'm blown away by how very much sharper the GX85 was. I have to wonder what is going on here! Thanks for posting

JPGs aren`t very good for testing across generations of cameras, what you`l be seeing more is the difference between the JPG engines

I found the G5 has a very weak AA filter , it`s almost as sharp as the GX80 (which has none) and sharper at pixel level than the GX8 , the actual filter maybe the same but the GX8 has a tighter pixel pitch of course ...... when comparing JPGs between the G5 and GX80 I see much the same as you`re seeing above , GX80 much sharper most if its down to the Cruder NR and sharpening of the older cameras JPGs. I found the GX7 to be critically sharp in RAW in capture one in E-Shutter mode - OK the extra mega fine detail was better in the GX80 but it`s far smaller a difference than between the two JPG engines

Just my findings anyway
