Synthesizers do much more than simply play back a lot of delicious pre-programmed sounds. Sure, they do that, and for many of us that's all we need them to do. High quality instrument sounds are crucial for making your recording have that fat, professional rich sound.
The magic of the synthesizer, though, is that it lest you create even more sounds, and completely rework the ones you already have. In addition, sampling functions are now commonplace, so you can create a sound based on a real recording. That's why the term synthesizer is no longer the main descriptive phrase. It's now “workstation”. Get a great one and you are totally in business.
