Haha, so have I. I've had a Z6, Z7, Pentax K1, Pentax KP, Leica SL, Sigma FP, Fuji X-T30, X-Pro 2, X-S10, A6600, A7RII, A7RIII, G9, S5, E-M1 II, E-M1 III, E-M5 III, Pen-F, GM5, Z50, Zfc, M6 II and I'm sure a bunch of others I'm forgetting. You're delusional if you think the < 2/3 stop of DR between X-Trans 26 MP and the > 1 stop between the current full frame sensors means m4/3 has poor DR/colour depth. It's absurd.
Well let me put it like this, m43 is a poor sensor in 2022, Olympus use every trick in the book and its admirable to get around its limitations but things like 17.9mp in 3:2 ratio doesn't really cut it for me!
Neither does this, m43 falls down really bad with color, 12 bits doesn't help!

Now what's the colour depth on most digital devices and how many people print? Right...
Going full circle, right now if Fuji do bring af that's competitive with OM-1, A7IV/A1, R6/R5, Z9 with ML for wildlife/eye's with its X-H2 then there's very little that remains interesting with m43 or FF imo and Fuji will over time absorb those looking for better iq and a lighter system. Ultimately FF is increasingly pro focused and m43 image quality plateaued probably around 6 years ago with GH5 and EM1 II. X-T4/X-S10 and soon X-H1 all surpass Sony's pitiful functionality of the a7iv and match its image quality at a substantially lower price point, what's not to like!
Fuji will never absorb m4/3 so long as their IBIS remains so janky, their long lens selection is so barren and they continue to not employ computational photography features. I have yet to find anything that can easily and reliably replicate Live Composite on m4/3 and Panasonic L-mount cameras. No one outside of Olympus has LiveND, which has rendered ND filters null and void for me (incidentally, Olympus LiveND has more dynamic range and colour depth than Fuji APS-C and full frame). As to your assertions about matching full frame image quality with the X-Trans sensor...I'll just politely leave that alone.
