As far as I can tell it doesn't mention which air purifier.

Knowing that might help influence purchasing decisions for those also interested in a "sleek" air purifier that contains an ESP32.

I suspect hiding the manufacturer/model was very much on purpose, they blurred the markings on the PCB and hid the domain name for the manufacturer's API calls (and in the console logs as well).

I agree, hopefully it helps not getting the article taken down because its a very good primer on getting any ESP based device locally working.
