It depends on what you mean by durable. Claiming that persistence to disk is trivial when compared to returned values is a stretch IMHO. Modern DBs still have bugs where data returned is different than permanently persisted leading to inconsistency errors.
And that is ignoring performance queries that don't require any guarantees.

Then your DB is doing something to improve the performance of your queries, whether that indexes, or other clever on-disk structures, it exists only to improve query performance.
