Inferring the GH5S and BPCC4K have the same sensor, is like saying the AF100 and GH2/3 had the same sensor, they did not.

So many people also assume that the sensor IS the camera... which isn't at all accurate. Just look at how different the results were between the AJA Cion, the IOIndustries Flare4K, and the Apertus cameras. Those actually are confirmed to have the same sensor, yet produce significantly different looks... much like Kodak negative film produces a different look from what Fuji neg film and what Agfa neg film produce.
If you read about the development process being the AXIOM Beta, you start to get a sense for how much goes into translating the data from the sensor's data bus into image data, even raw.
But most people don't pay any attention to that... and instead assume that it's just a matter of stuffing a sensor in a box.
