I mean, that is a simplification, and in the real world it really follows some sort of differential equation that just happens to be very fast. And the description on Wikipedia does seem to use an explanation based on this differential equation, e.g. see "When a steady state is reached".

The differential equation is still a model and not what's happening in "the real world", remember, all models are false.
