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.

A cash buyer isn’t dependent on finalizing their mortgage loan… there’s always a risk a buyer loses their job, has some credit issue that prevents them from getting the loan, rate hikes make payment unaffordable, etc. vs. a cash buyer will close for sure. Also, a cash buyer can usually close more quickly than a borrower since the mortgage underwriting turnaround can be 30-45 days.
