It is so much more than blur. That ...

Depth of Field is computed from focal length, aperture, focus distance, and also sensor size. The distance limit of the depth of field is where the blur circle diameter is computed to exceed the maximum acceptable Circle of Confusion, which is computed from sensor diagonal size.
With all other factors equal:
A shorter focal length has greater depth of ...
