In my experience it's more the full-frame sensor (bigger, so more prone to gather dust) than the DSLR aspect that provoke the need for more frequent cleaning.
My K-01 and K-30 are pretty equivalent in terms of cleaning needs (a air blower shoot every couple of months), whereas I needed to clean my sensor after almost every outings when I had a 5D mark I.
Would be interesting to know about the A7/A7r on this subject though.
That's interesting. Didn't happen on the RX1, but then that's a closed system. If that's the case, that's a pretty good argument for staying away from full frame ILC, although I too would be interested to know how the A7 does to test your hypothesis. I cleaned my sensor a couple of days ago, tested it this morning and it was looking good, but I just went out for a couple hours of walking around and all of my shots from the second half of the walk need cloning to clean up some dust spots. I'm not sure I'm up for a camera that requires this kind of attention on a regular basis. Although otherwise I rather love shooting with it and the results are otherwise stellar...
