Two pics shot with 50mm @ F1.2
Photo shot at 20 feet away has 3.48ft DOF
Photo shot at 10 feet away has 0.86ft DOF
Yep, cropping, whether via aps-c mode in camera or in post, affects not only the equivalent focal length but also f-number. So, I'd expect (I'm too tired to take and post samples today ) the DoF to increase as you step back and crop...

My 50 1.2 is still in the return window, and I was wondering if I really wanted to keep it; but I did some eclectic shots as I was taking the garbage out this morning and I like the versatility, the bokeh, and the IQ.
You should probably return it. New equipment is always great, but there's a chance you will probably sell it down the road because you will find it to be overkill for the 50mm focal length. Of course, if you do a lot of low light shooting indoors that 1.2 will keep the iso down.
Maybe the better question is whether the 50 GM can do a better job than the 35 GM you already own. I bought your 24GM that you sold because of the 35 GM you acquired, so that's how I know that little bit of info.

Why return a lens that helps you capture such wonderful images? The 50/1.2 GM has a rare combination of fast AF, low aberration, smooth transition and high resolution across the field.
Unless you prefer shooting with a lighter lens, I'd say keep it.

I just finished wrapping mine. These wraps are great. I have now wrapped my full lens collection in various designs with the product from Alphagvrd. They provide great protection and are die cut from the 3M material used for vehicle wraps, so they can easily be removed for selling, etc.

Well, I'm glad you like how it looks but my point is the lens does not produce an artistic image. I see there are a few photographers that agree with me but the rest of the naive crowd focusing on how it looks and how sharp these clinical images are...
The lens can make a good image but you have to work really hard to get it - It has no 'special character, it has no 'special' colors or bokeh, it has nothing 'special'... Sorry, forgot! It looks good!
