Take the Sony FE lenses - the vast majority aren't any smaller than their DSLR countparts.
The Zeiss FE 50mm f/1.4 is pretty much identical to the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART for instance.
Of course, you will always find examples where this doesn't quite match.
You may have a debate on whether mirrorless ultra-wides have a natural size advantage but that's about it.
If it is also the question whether the same design objectives apply. e.g. a lens that relies on auto-correction can certainly be smaller.
