Why paying in cash is better when buying homes

Surely the seller receives the full payment from the buyer’s lender either way? I’m confused on why it is sure to get you a much higher chance of getting the house.

I bought a house 2 years ago – I was a bit late on the scene. There were 2 prospective buyers upping the ante but neither had had their finance approved. I had the cash, the owner needed to settle quickly (divorce) and I was prepared to waive the “cooling off period”. I saw the place one afternoon and exchanged contracts the next day (at a slightly lower price than the other 2 were offering). That’s what cash can do!
