One can take a deliberate approach in other formats. I gravitate to 4x5 most of all. But, I also have a strong affinity for medium format; there's something economical about it, what with more conveniently sized cameras, film takes up less room, advantages of multiple film holders, etc. So, I have a 6x9 view camera, plus a couple of other medium format cameras.
For color photography, I prefer digital and have an ancient Kodak SLR/c that, given enough light, produces excellent files. My lenses include 24mm and 35mm perspective control lenses. I almost never use this camera off a tripod; by the time I decide on perspective (camera position), composition, and exposure, it takes me a fair amount of time to "properly" expose an image. I also take multiple exposures, so that I can blend them for improved dynamic range later. Capturing images with this camera doesn't seem like that much different from using a view camera.
It seems like you're looking for some measure of logic in posting this thread. Logic can be comforting. But is logic really necessary? Go where gravity pulls you the strongest, whether it be with one or multiple formats or mediums. I think that's probably been my approach, and it's been rewarding.
