If this were such common experimental knowledge, how come they
didn't mention it in the Cassini article I read about synchronous clocks?

So you're upset that they don't post the periodic correction for time
lag due to SR effects on non-technical web page? Ever thought to write
them and ask them if they make a correction? Perhaps in your letter you
could indicate your opinion that it should be on the web page so that
ignoramuses don't get the mistaken impression that it doesn't exist.

These experimental results are obviously bogus or cooked up to wreck SR.
