Indeed, and it was subsequently recognized that more than
the 'sync'[*] system call was required for applications to
ensure data was successfully written to the underlying
device.

Applications in those days (e.g. fsck) would access the
raw character device using the unbuffered read() and
write() system calls rather than using stdio.  A key
characteristic of raw devices were that the hardware DMA would
use the application buffer directly rather than copying
the data to the kernel buffer pool first.

[*] I recall using 'sync;sync;sync' from the Sixth Edition
command line more than once, before rebooting.

Subsequently APIs like fdatasync(2) and open flags
such as O_DIRECT and O_DSYNC were added.

Although to be fair, select(2) originated with BSD and is
a bit less flexible than poll(2).
