Sure it does. Yes, both size sensors are being covered...but way more available light from the lens is not falling on the M43 sensor. If light was rain...your analogy would mean a small rain bucket gathers as much rain as another bucket 4 times as large. They both get rain...but not the same amount of rain.
Why the Oly 300mm f/4 .... which is just an ordinary 300mm f/4 equates out to the equivalent of a 600mm f/8 FF.
Add a teleconverter...and things just get worse...by comparison to a FF.
M43 performs okay for the shorter lenses with low F stops.

There's a very good reason why FF has caught on and M43 is stagnant.

By the way, Digital Camera World recently reported about the latest sales news from BCN Retail:

"Don't kid yourself, Olympus is still a sales powerhouse – it has the first, second, fourth and tenth bestselling bodies! Despite being in the process of selling its camera business, Olympus remains the dominant force in mirrorless sales in Japan. In fact, for the first half of 2020, it is the dominant force when it comes to mirrorless cameras."

That is not exactly stagnant. And basically, all the mirrorless camera sales are the smaller and cheaper end of all the camera brands. With Olympus and Panasonic, it is much easier to upgrade to the very best camera body and still save $3000 over FF and lose no lens usage of Olympus or Panasonic lenses. Well over 110 to choose from, some cheap ones to very good and expensive.

M43 is still viable...as video mostly...that is where the sensor shines best.
Which means...Panasonic.
Olympus has lost money three years in a row...something few companies can survive...which they ...didn't.
