That was a function of the technology available at the time when older sensors were made. With sensors using the same technology, larger photo sites always provide the potential for more dynamic range. It is a matter of physics...
The cool thing is that a full frame sensor made today can outperform, in many but not quite all ways, a medium format sensor using older technology. The sensor resolution of today\'s smaller cameras equals (or exceeds!) that of MF digital systems from not that long ago. Dynamic range is the same or potentially better. Noise can be extremely low.
It is correct to point out that all of the technological advances that made this possible are also available in MF digital systems, albeit at high cost and with some other practical considerations to think about. That means that the MF systems of today are still capable of exceeding the performance (in most ways) of smaller sensors... though the floor now is where the ceiling was not that long ago.
