Totally not for everyone, and really location dependent. This video mostly speak to people who's within 10km commute one way, and can snake around street to avoid main road/highway most of the commute. It does sounds specific, but across the world, there's tons of people who've matched the requirement yet still drive to work and think cycling is impossible.
Still, if there's only one road between you and your workplace, and without bike path or at least road shoulder wide enough, then yeah don't do it.
Personally, i live on a hill and drive 22km one way to work and spend 35min to 50min one way, an hour on a bad day. Recently have to take my bike to work because my car broke down and it took me around 1 hour one way consistently, while my ebike does majority of the pedaling for me. I'm lucky i able to avoid road most of the time and use residential street and back road, and even then the driver here know how to act around two wheeler, as long as i ride in a predictable way.
