I am confused as to why the Unity team marked this issue as a duplicate. The issue they marked as a duplicate only occurs during runtime, but this issue occurs only in the Editor. The duplicate issue was reported as fixed in 2023.1.0b2, but after checking, I discovered that it was only fixed during runtime and the fps is still capped at the monitor refresh rate if I have "VSync" enabled in the Editor. Can you please reopen this issue?

Yes, I can enable VSync on Game View's toolbar. But it only limit the frame rates to monitor refresh rate. If I'm using 360 FPS gaming monitor, the fps will still goes beyond 60.

What I'm reporting was definitely bug.
Like, what you're saying is "Every Second V Blank still present on the editor, but it doesn't do anything. Please use the other one instead."
And the other one is not what I was looking for. Could you elaborate, please?
