It also explains that smaller pixels need more gain applied to them to reach a reference brightness value (and that iso is arbitrary).
It's funny how the people designing these sensors agree with me, not you, isn't it :)
Are canon wrong too?

It's one half of a system.
A sensor gathers light.
How well does a recording desk record your voice if you don't have a microphone?
But yes, per mm2 an f2 FF lens projects just as much light as an f2 mft 50mm lens. You can see this for yourself, hold a lens between a flat piece of paper and a light source, start with a piece of paper that's the same diagonal as the diameter of your light circle, does the light intensity from the lens change if you put a smaller piece of paper under it? Does the small piece of paper or the large one catch more light?
