I would respond only briefly because I don't want to waste my life arguing with strangers online, lol. I did not say no information is lost. Of course, when you project an image with 15 stops of DR on a monitor with lower DR, some information would be lost. However, that does not mean the entire advantage of the 15 stops of DR is gone away. Through proper tone mapping, a lot of the details that are available in the highlights and shadows can be compressed and shown on the monitor. If one starts with an image file containing 15 stops of DR, the result can vastly differ from the result when one starts with an image that contains only 10 stops of DR. The difference can be depicted even on a monitor which has only 10 stops of DR.
Regarding weight difference, again you are comparing one system with a certain number of lenses to another system with a number of similar lenses which may not be applicable to everyone/ For example, if someone only carries one body + one lens at a time, say a normal lens, the difference is slight or perhaps nonexistent. Not everybody carries a camera bag containing multiple lenses at the same time.
Example:
A7c r (429g) + Sony 40mm or 50mm G lens (173g) = 602g
OM5ii (418g) + OM 17mm (120g) or OM 25mm (156g) = 574g or 538g depending on the lens.
While there is a difference, it is too small to be factor to matter from a practical point of view for someone who does not carry more than one lens with him/her at a time.
