Or is it? Jepsen reported a number of issues like "read skew, cyclic information flow, duplicate writes, and internal consistency violations. Weak defaults meant that transactions could lose writes and allow dirty reads, even downgrading requested safety levels at the database and collection level. Moreover, the snapshot read concern did not guarantee snapshot unless paired with write concern majority—even for read-only transactions."
That report (1) is 4 years old, many things could have changed. But so far any reviewed version was faulty in regards to consistency.
