I am surprised this is not the norm, It looks like that this person have a tendency to lean into the extreme (like with his previous blog about chaining). I always feel like every syntactic sugar of any kind are to be treated like any other design/style philosophy. Too much of it is not good. Look at Java that is OOP to the extreme. Any language would quickly became unusable if any one of the features/design philosophy are (ab)used.

I always treat things like projectStatus and userEmail as a kind of code smell.
If a variable name carries too much context, then I figure out why and how to carry that context in a better way (project.status user.email)

Isn't always doable. But that's why it's a smell, not a rule

This might seem trivial, but it's a sign of mastery.
