How does this Push-Pull amplifier work?

Image of a circuit that uses op-amp in negative feedback to reduce Cross-over distortion in push-pull amplifiers

I'm reading about op-amp circuits that use negative feedback from this article (question no.19).

What confuses me is that the negative feedback for the Op-amp (which is being used to reduce cross-over distortion) is given directly from the output of the push pull amplifier. Does that not cause the output voltage (at point B) to be equal to the input voltage (at point A which is equal to Vin due to virtual short effect)?

Does this not nullify the Amplification of the Push-Pull amplifier which was the aim of the circuit in the first place? Does the circuit now have unity voltage gain?

Even if we were to add resistors in the feedback loop, wouldn't the gain of the system be determined by the Op-amp itself rather than the Push-Pull amplifier which originally was the main circuit?
