There are several choices of <electromagnetic four-potential> that lead to the same physics.

E.g. thinking about the <electric potential> alone, you could set the zero anywhere, and everything would remain be the same.

The Lorentz gauge is just one such choice. It is however a very popular one, because it is also manifestly <Lorentz invariant>.
