Ok, I got the point.

"Some" means "not all".

Quorum-based synchronous replication is expected to be more
efficient than priority-based one when your master doesn't need
to be in sync with all of the nominated standbys by
<varname>synchronous_standby_names</>.  While quorum-based
replication master waits only for a specified number of fastest
standbys, priority-based replicatoin master must wait for
standbys at the top of the list, which may be slower than the
rest.
