5d's image looks remarkably better in terms of colour depth and details.. wondering whether it's due to the sensor size (full frame vs aps-c) or some other factor?

As is shared in the article, the largest contributing factor is likely how Lightroom was used during post-processing.

Are you just looking at the low resolution images in the article? If so, I think most of it can be attributed to post-processing. At that resolution the sensor size isn't going to make a big difference.

The skeptic in me thinks this was planned. Yellow submarining given that the author is selling something

would be insane if it were a marketing stunt too! Taking the same picture of the same moment of a huge unplanned wave would be a feat worth of the marketing purpose.

The histogram could just be stretched differently for both photos. By changing the gain and offset of the picture, you could possibly get more closely matched photos.

Although there are differences in post-processing, you can see significant differences in quality in the zoomed-in crop:

This is not surprising considering we're comparing a 60D that was released in Aug 2010 and a 5D4 released 6 years later.
