Of course, you can think of benefits of certain MFT products. You will not see me argue against that.
That Olympus as macro is not thaaat small or light in the world of macro lenses. The FF lens I often use is smaller and almost as light, even though it is full metal (micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5). Of course, it does not have an equivalent focal length on FF. But that goes the other way too, you will struggle finding a 25mm macro for MFT.
Other systems have small macro lenses as well, like the Canon EF-M 28mm f3.5 IS STM which goes to 1.2x magnification and weighs less than that Olympus, and the Canon EF-S 35mm f2.8 IS STM which weighs the same as that Oly. So, not all macro lenses for FF and APS-C are huge.
