Perhaps, but I have a Panasonic G9 (20mp) and a EM1 Mk1 (16mp from 2013) the differences, while measurable to some degree in benchmarks, in day to use are really not that noticeable at all. The m4/3 industry relies effectively just on Sony now for sensors as Olympus/Panasonic do not make them, and there is not that much commercial incentive for Sony to invest more - this is why we only get a sensor feature bump when the Sony sensor catalog finally gets a new installment in 17x13mm.

I noticed a big difference going from a Panasonic G7 to a GX9. It gave me a stop more usable ISO and a lot more ability to bring up the shadows when editing.
