have you see the examples at typical taking exposures? There is still a visible difference. And I'm not sure where you're coming from with the green channel clipping? All cameras block up the green channel last; are you saying the canon looks better in the shadows for colour? Everyone will pick there own deepest shadow recovery - and it will depend on the subject. D810 can get better shadows than the A7Rii (as will the A7R) but it needs lots of playing to fix deep shadow magenta casts. A7RII is very good at high ISO dynamic range and also is more neutral colour in the deep shadows (hence a quick boost of exposure will look better on the A7RII but spend some time in Photoshop and the A7R D810 can look better

and yet you still didn't read the article where the exposure difference was explained... If you have a look at the rawdigger comparisons you'll be able to see that had I chosen the same exposure level for the 'base' exposure (the ETTR) the areas of the quarry would have add full clipping in all channels. And if you check the average values of the cliff face as a %ge of the clipping levels you'll see that the Canon and Sony files are fairly similar.

sigh - read the article again. Download rawdigger. Check the values in the quarry face, not the sky (this is where the ETTR was done) - the sony file is touching clipping on one green pixel, none of the other channels are clipping. The Canon file is 98% to clipping on one green channel. That's about a 1/10 of a stop difference. Please, please read the article and if you'd like to ask a question fine but don't jump to conclusions (e.g. that the sky was the ETTR point, that the difference between clipping and no clipping is significant (it could be a single unit which is .01 of a percent).

If you check the raw files using rawdigger rather than just using Lightroom (which will be affected by white balance etc) then you'll be able to see. The links to the rawdigger screenshots are in the post. It's not the be all and end all which is why I have a Canon 5DSr as well and if you people had read my review of that they would see what I think of it..
