Even better, the actual in situ delays are measured and compensated for, and it works independent of the physical connection (and through fiber/copper, switch layers, etc.).

Only over fiber. Copper SFPs are not deterministic enough to precisely synchronize networks.
And even better: they suggest the use of a single medium for both transmission and receiving (1000BASE-BX10) to minimize asymmetry.
