The synthetic data is generated by a model, but if you need synthetic data to supplement empirical data for model estimation, isn't that because you don't have enough data to confidently say what the model for the data is?

It doesn’t have to be generated by a model. For example, 3D software (ex: game engines) are used for image data.
