Maybe a bit of \"chicken & egg\" thing going on here. By that, I mean because the format changes the size/angles/distance involved ... it allows for different lens design ... which is responsible for the drawing style / look of the projected image. Because we have historically associated the lens design with the format size, we (naturally) associate the outcome of the look to the format size. But, while there is a correlation derived to the format size (used with lens designed for that format), it does not negate the properties of that optical projection just because you only capture a portion of it.
