I don't think it even makes sense to view the AP network as a distributed system. It's a heterogenous network of independent systems. There is no correct state for the system because there's no singular system or even singular state.

The mechanisms you're talking about are useful for preventing desynchronization, but that's not actually a goal. At least not a goal that makes sense to me. Some desync will happen intentionally, by design.
