I think Ferraris are statistically more likely to crash, because they trick people into thinking they must be great drivers simply because they can afford the car. Then their talent quickly runs out.
Perhaps it's the same with cameras: people think they must be great photographers because of the expensive gear they own, but actually that gear is just revealing the limits of their talents?

There's probably a relatively high percentage of "full frame" shooters who aren't particularly experienced or competent, but who happen to be able to afford one as their first camera. While medium format photographers are much more likely to have years of experience behind them, and to know what they are doing with their cameras and why. I can't imagine many people buying a 645Z as their first camera. Hence the much higher average standard among the medium format photos on Flickr.
I think your analysis is spot-on, and I'd be interested to know your thoughts about FF vs APS-C on Flickr too. Is the average quality of FF likely to be higher because experienced photographers have moved up from APS-C? Or could the average APS-C quality be higher because people who are more interested in "meaningful" photography than just testing gear haven't felt any need for FF?
I think this is going to be a fascinating thread.:)
