I was good with 50MP on the X1D II. 47MP on the Q2 works. 40MP on the M10R, etc. I don't need 100MP for many things, and the MP count isn't the driver for MF (imo). To me, the driver for moving from smaller / cheaper > MF is the 16 bit file it offers. I can get 60MP in FF. I can't get 16 bit color files in FF. Today's glass in FF (options) is a stone's throw from MF glass in some regard. MP count is likewise a stone's throw from MF.
The color bit difference is the biggest separator from FF > MF that I can't achieve otherwise. With MP count, I can switch lenses vs. cropping and get to a similar image size / MP count from either way. Some folks might prefer the convenience of cropping, others might prefer to switch glass (and yes, compression diff's, etc.).
I think folks have to ask themselves what is it about MF that has them looking that way.
MP (total for print size enlargement)
MP (crop convenience to smaller print / online needs)
16 Bit Color
MF glass options
Other
Until you answer why you want MF ... well, you get the gist.
