As with most fire/safety equipment, this is about buying time effectively, not addressing the issue altogether. A fire suit doesn't put out the fire; it buys you time.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole watching similar video's since I plan on improving fire safety on my car, and the element doesn't really look all that effective. I agree that having something is better than nothing but I don't see the point of buying an Element unless you are lacking space for a more standard sized bottle. There seem to be a lot better options for only a little bit more money. Maybe one as a backup.
I watched a street class S2K suffer some pretty bad fire damage and couldn't believe they didn't have anything in the car. Would have saved a lot of grief. Given the layout on boxers, I find it even more important.
