How is this compelling compared to the countless projects that used meetings? All it proves is both can work, not that one is better than the other.

We have plenty of proof that you can build successful large-scale software without synchronization or zoom or in-person meetings.

By interspersing synchronization, you're not proving that synchronization by itself is successful. At best you're proving that synchronization may not destroy the craft entirely.

I admit that synchronization may add something to the development of business software, but we have plenty of business software that doesn't use synchronization, like Gitlab, Tailscale, etc.
