Because modern mics are good at cutting out background noise, so the only people who make tactical chokers these days are chinese companies doing it for larpers. As everyone has already said, they sound horrible as a result. They made sense for people who need to talk over gunfire and explosions back in the day, but even they have moved onto normal microphones. Edit: Shockingly 3M makes a thoat mic. That said, I've never heard of anyone using it, and the only reason to use it they state is for when you physically can't use a boom mic due to PPE. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000083105/ https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000083105/
