is rumored to have said:

SPF by itself would have checked the envelope address
(owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org), but DMARC's
reinterpretation of SPF is not the same as actual SPF.
It checks the From: address (@raf.org) instead of the
envelope address (@postfix.org).

Not exactly.

SPF always checks the envelope sender. DMARC only considers SPF if the envelope sender domain aligns with the From header address domain.

That's why the DMARC+SPF check failed (even though a
plain SPF check (which didn't happen) would have
passed).

No, postfix.org has no TXT record, so mail from a postfix.org address can neither pass nor fail a SPF test.
