The size comparison pictures on page 2 and 7 matter to me. There's no way I'm going to carry a big fat lump like that Nikon let alone whip it out and wave it at people.
PS.
I read a post on Luminous Landscape, the poster said that the A7Rx felt like a "toy," a "good toy." Comments like this really make me wonder about the posters and the whole I'm a man and I want a manly camera attitude but maybe it's because I spent much of my working life with test gear and I'd liken the smaller mirrorless cameras to that gear as they're relatively compact and look like they were built to perform a precise function with their precise buttons and controls. I'd liken some DSLR's more to the sort of kit I'd expect to find on a construction site or in an agricultural setting, bigger, chunkier and with controls you can jab a gloved finger at. I've always preferred precise test gear to industrialised power tools
I do prefer the smaller form factor of mirrorless - but - I really doubt it you were taking a shot of someone they would turn around and say “oh thank goodness you’re using a small camera and not that big old Nikon D850”.
Regarding the comments about them feeling like toys, I do personally feel like I baby mirrorless gear more. They are probably built just as well as dslrs- but to me they don’t feel as well built.
