Homology is never considered "solving the protein folding problem". It's 100% based off of past data which incorporates all sorts of biases, including as others have pointed out, experimental error. For instance, in my field, where there is terrible amino acid sequence conservation, AlphaFold is just as poor at prediction as existing solutions like Phyre.
