So a f/1.8 on a 1" sensor would still gather more light than a f/3.5 on an APS-C?

Exactly.

But for some reason apparently important to many, noise keeps creeping into whether exposure is correct or not. I have seen many photos that appear to exhibit perfect exposure, that exhibited what I thought to be excessive noise, and have likewise seen many photos that were totally free of noise that exhibited what I consider absolutely terrible exposure.

Why can't you understand that

  • f/1.8 on 1" sensor, ISO100, 1/100s, and
  • f/3.5 on apsc sensor, ISO400, 1/100s

given the same scene brightness and pespective, will yield the same output (noise, motion blur, DoF, diffraction and image lightness) within 1/3 of a stop. There is no 2 stop advantage in this scenario.
