Generally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out specifications. The pic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T7i and A7R IV.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The T7i with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R IV will provide more detail using its extra 37MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T7i will be behind in sensor innovation.
