Everything you say is completely correct. But, you left out one really huge factor: SENSOR tech.

In my opinion, Sensor Tech will always be an issue with M43. And I don't think they need to play in the race for more megapixels.

They should make a 18.5x10.5mm 21.2Mp sensor for they next gen of M43 cameras. It will be able to shoot 6K videos which is the current strong point of Panny and the M43 Camcorder players. Like Z Cam and BlackMagic.

But, this is 4:3 format, not 16:9, by definition. If you make it with a 16:9 sensor, then you are making a smaller 4:3 area, and going backwards,

Now, if they made a multi-aspect sensor, like the GH2 had, then you would have what you want, and they would still have 4:3 capability without sacrificing pixels when used in that format.

That GH2 was an amazing camera, after it got jailbroken. The sensor was so key.
