I fail to see the point of tiny APS-C size camera bodies
put a F1.4 fast lens, 24-70 zoom, 100-400, 200-600, or other larger lens on them and it is now front heavy, and not much to hold on to body wise
The A7III is even a too small if you do not have the added metal grip extension (GP-X1EM)
Not all FE mount lenses are big and heavy and not everybody wants to use those big heavy lenses. There are compact and light lenses available for the FE mount: Zeiss 55mm, 35mm pancake, 50mm f1.8, 28mm f2 and alternative options from third party manufacturers (Voigtlander, Rokinon/Samyang, etc.). There are many people who prefer a compact light camera combined with light and relatively small lenses over a bulky heavy setup. I for one, consider such camera very seriously if nothing else comes on the way.
The DSLR type crowd have been loud complaining about the ergonomics of Sony bodies but there are many Sony users who prefer a small compact ff body if it were available but they don't roam the forums telling everybody about what they want or not.
