SO. There are things tied to Crop versus Full Frame camera sensor talk that are pet peeves of mine (tied to realizing how little knowledge all the numbers used to markets provides after picking out my first camera (what does a 26x zoom mean in comparison to, say, binoculars? (the answer is nothing because it measures the difference in longest and shortest focal length on that camera))). A big one is that [crop sensors have longer reach], because of the "equivalent focal length" - which is actually determined by the field of view. This change in total field of view is interpreted as better reach. But lets compare a full frame camera (Nikon D850) and a crop sensor camera (D500) attached to the same lens (set to the same focal length) sitting on a tripod. Same shutter speed, same ISO, same F-stop. Viewed at the full native resolution for each camera. These cameras use the same size pixels, so difference in number of pixels is all about the size of the sensor.

Which camera has better reach? The D500 has a 1.5x crop factor, so its equivalent focal length was 1.5x longer than the D850. Why isn't the flower bigger when both are viewed at full resolution? Because the only thing that changed is a smaller capture area. The attached lens is still providing the same physical light bending properties, it just has a smaller area capturing that projection. It's like... standing in a field versus looking at a field through a window - just because you see less, does not mean you are seeing less closer. Another common thing on comparisons is [differences in depth of field], which are entirely the result of changes in distance to subject to replicate the field of view - not a physical property of the camera/lens combo. Take the photo from the same spot, and crop the full frame shot with editing software to match the crop sensor shot and you can have the same depth of field.
