Seems like as if this might limit its effectiveness, given how much hotter the Pi 4 runs. It would be interesting to do a side-by-side temperature comparison of a Pi 4 fitted with this device and another with fitted with heatsinks and a gooseneck USB powered fan blowing across it.

Fan SHIM will take your Pi 4 well below throttle temperatures even at full load!
