Ah, is this like The Emperor's New Clothes? Anyone who doesn't see the
issues lacks a decent understand of Emacs Lisp? I'll play the kid who
doesn't know any better. Here's the source where
syntax-propertize-function is introduced:

;;; Applying syntax-table properties where needed.

(defvar syntax-propertize-function nil
  ;; Rather than a -functions hook, this is a -function because it's easier

Looks like a normal defvar to me.
