I think that's not true what they wrote there,
I mean there isn't any reliable source backing it up. favorites sync has been available since the the beginning.
I wouldn't jump into conclusions until at least some official speaks about it.
Google has sync, true, but Microsoft should use Google servers for Edge? like they can't make their own sync servers?
they've got Azure and all of those complex services, so making a sync server for browser should be easy.
I know favorites sync is not reliable enough but do you remember Google chrome (10 years ago?) had a reliable sync when It was during its infancy and not even launched officially? how about in its first year?

You have a point. However it seems likely that they might have mentioned that because of all the syncing problems that are occurring, along with other features that haven't made it so far, and Microsoft's tendency to release products before their finished.
