The browsing pattern will be dictated by the structure of the site and especially how prominent the elements are. A lot of content heavy sites will yield the f-shape, but more minimalist marketing pages may not. If something on the page really screams for attention, it will be looked at. The Gutenberg rule is just another tool to know about when building your site but should definitely not be followed blindly. A/B testing and other forms of usability testing should be used to see if it works for you.
