That's true but it's not the way I see it:

When you do a chord on the fret board the cpu
that scans the X(frets)/Y(strings) axis will read only the
nearest held frets from the pulley brigde (which is non-conductive).
So if 1st string is held at 12th fret (from head)
& 2nd string is held at 11th fret;
The cpu reads one string at a time and memorizes
12th fret for 1rst string & 11th fret for 2nd string
(starting reading from the bridge)
even if both strings are held on the finger board.
So polyphony is readable.
