I can't speak for the zsh developers in general, but I have good reason to
believe that this is not true. Here is what Oliver Kiddle, one of the main zsh
developers, had to say about POSIX compliance in a thread on zsh-workers
talking about convincing Apple to replace /bin/sh -> bash with zsh (something
that going by the latest news is not going to happen):
The explicit emulate command in zsh actually allows zsh to go
much further than bash in emulating POSIX. Extra reserved words
can be disabled etc. The only way that bash is more compatible
is that it adds fewer additional features.
