orphan mode is about a group of computers. "Orphan Mode allows a group

real time sources become unreachable (i.e. are inaccessible)."
chrony's is that you can enter the time by hand (Ie, by typing a current
time and hitting enter) on a single machine. You are the "remote clock". Now,
how useful that
is now adays is open to question, but in the past with telephone modems
and flaky connections it was worth something. And if you are setting up
something on the Hebrides or on a buoy in the Atlantic where no
connection of anykind is possible, it could be useful.
Ie, it IS different from orphan mode.
"Things chronyd can do that ntpd can?t: chronyd provides support for
isolated networks whether the only method of time correction is manual
entry (e.g. by the administrator looking at a clock)."
The claim is for "networks", not single machines.
