It really is not. APS-C can look sort of ok in SOME circumstances, but in the same hands, with the same scene, FF will often achieve something subtly better.

Also it helps the FF case that most APS-C cameras are just garbage to use, and cost so fucking much, you might as well just buy a real camera from a few years back instead of fucking yourself with a newer beginners scamera. Fujifilm in particular makes really horrid cameras. Long term reliability is piss poor. Autofocus is incompetent for anything but a static object. Prices are sky high. Despite charging thousands for 40mp sensors, xtrans and their shitty glass produce such blurry results the max allowable print size is 8.5x11. They certainly earned their fanboys with the first few japanese made models... not anymore.

>inb4 well a pro used a-
Somewhere, sometime, a pro shot their entire set on an iphone. Those oppenheimer publicity shots and that vogue china run looked really bad btw.

FF vs crop works like thus
>How much do you value your own photography?
"Not much, I'll look at it once, and maybe shit it out onto instagram" -> Micro for birds/aps-c
"These are lifelong memories. My yearly family photo fills a wall." -> Buy a real camera
"You look at photos after you take them?" -> Phone

>Do you need a camera with you all the time?
"Yes, my hobby is taking snapshots of random cool shit" -> Ricoh GRIII/X. Forget other APS-C, forget m43, it's the smallest.
"No, just when I've planned on taking photos" -> Buy a real camera
"*happy fox noises* Yah I'd love to live teh photografur life~ but its gotta fit in my ophidia pochette :3" -> X100VI

>Are you in shape, or do extra ounces hurt?
"Yes, I need to hit the gym" -> 1" PNS/Ricoh GR/micro-for-birds
"I'm pretty small yea... d-does that interest you? OwO" -> X100VI
"I have no room left in my pack. I hike with a combat loadout" -> 1" PNS/Ricoh GR/micro-for-birds
"Ounces are pounds, but as long as it's just a few it's not pain" -> Buy a real camera
