Its the full frame quality level of the results we get from the flagship cameras from Leica, Canon and Nikon possible others. Going back working with shots from a few years ago from the sensors back then its no picnic. Does cropped quality equal uncropped from a few years ago? Maybe but nobody cares as nobody cares about the uncropped quality from years back.
