Can someone explain all this to me please?
Are we saying that with a small sensor size the DOF is inherently deeper?
Then it should follow that with a large sensor (like 5" x 4") the DOF is
almost non-existent?
Thanks

Well, it is. That is why they shoot at F stops like F64 and that is
why moving water looks like flowing snow. Freezing water at the F
stops they have to use is not an option.
The flip side of the coin is that small digital sensor type cameras
have a depth of field advantage. It may not be ideal for people who
do a lot of portraits, but who hasn't wished they had more depth of
field for that macro shot ?
