Both Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 240 have Full frame sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the A7 III and M Typ 240 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 240 Cameras
Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 240 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Sony A7 III and Leica M Typ 240 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, A7 III has scored 96, 12 points higher than M Typ 240.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony A7 III
or the
Leica M Typ 240 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
