I thought this was a satire. It looks like this is not. I like the fact that the author loves experimentation and tried this setup.
I'm someone who still thinks Apple has not even solved the design of the AirPods/Pro. So, anything else that makes us like "Batman with a utility belt" is something I would find a more aesthetic alternative.
For most of the video call needs, I have tried boom/condenser and XLR microphones. Right now, an XLR is the best that stays away from my desk (mounted on an extended arm) while I continue to keep a desk Microphone as a backup. The last resort is the trusty Bose Quietcomfort 35-II.
While on the move, a wireless bud such as the AirPods would be OK.
I have been working remotely since the early 00s, and have used the early Jabra Bluetooth with phones, and now, if I can take back that flaunt, I would.
These days, I drive past busy social hangout areas or visit diners with the family; I see people wearing AirPods or AirPod-like knockoffs as an always-on ornamental addition even while not talking (on phone). My brain always cries in silence, "Batman."
I don't see this throat mic fitting in any sensible scenario, and from the article, the ROI of audio quality over anything else is not worth the roll-eyes that will you will gain from your audience. Nonetheless, I would love to try this with a walkie-talkie in the jungles when I'm working with the planters for the natural decarbonization projects I'm involved with.

Uhhh, you are aware that talking on the phone is a very moonier use case for most folks these days, right? We listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, YouTube videos, etc - all on our headphones?
Not yet here in India. People love to just call and talk on phone. Sometimes, many of them get angry when I do not pick up phone calls or tell them to use other means instead of voice calls.
