No, because if a transaction fails it still needs to be handled by the user in many cases.

E.g. if you buy a book, but it turns out the book was already sold, then you will first get a message "Your book is on its way!" and then "Oops, sorry, the book was already sold to someone else".

Eventual consistency is just a property of the database.
