That has never been the point of the discussion. It's rather about the
question if changes from transactions are guaranteed to be visible on
remote nodes immediately after commit acknowledgment. Whether or not
this is guaranteed, in both cases the term "synchronous replication" is
commonly used, which is causing confusion.
