ALL weather sealing lets some water in and you ignore that because rainwater is not very conductive. Small amounts here and there won't kill most electronics. In smaller, more compact bodies, more of that water is more likely to come in contact with circuitry long enough to cause errors. In a larger camera, granted its design affords the water some space to run and pool, the water is less likely to even touch anything electronic.
Sony cameras are the smallest, but also the most tightly packed. If water gets past the seals, which is assured with prolonged use, it is significantly more likely that water will touch a PCB. This is probably why you've heard of more om-5/em-5 WR fails than e-m1 fails other than the poorly built em1mk1, and why fuji cameras with supposed modern sealing fail in rain at a higher rate than DSLRs that were hardly sealed at all compared to todays shit. Interior space.
