We'll have to agree to disagree. I fully understand what you're saying, and the principle of what you're saying. I understand that the DX is only recording a smaller portion of the same image but the final image recorded on the sensor is different. Whether you view it on a 4" phone screen, 27" monitor or if you could print it straight onto a 6x4" print straight from the sensor the final image is the final image regardless of how large it's been 'blown up'. A DX sensor displays its full image just as an FX sensor displays its full image.It only looks "closer" in that there is less displayed... It is only a crop... and it only looks "larger" in a pixel display (on a monitor).
It's certainly not an illusion, you're just capturing a smaller portion of the image.
Edit: I make no reference to IQ here as a result of recording a smaller portion of the image, just that it's not an illusion and the final image captured from FX is different to DX
