If you're still talking about SeaweedFS, the answer seems to be that it's not a "raft-based object store", hence it's not as chatty as the parent comment described. That proxy node is a volume server itself, and uses simple replication to mirror its volume on another server. Raft consensus is not used for the writes. Upon replication failure, the data becomes read-only [1], thus giving up partition tolerance. These are not really comparable.
