Whey protein is usually processed from whey that is a byproduct of cheesemaking; as the article notes, the acid whey from making Greek yogurt is much more acidic, and has much lower protein concentration; while it is probably possible to extract whey protein from it it is a much poorer source of it than the whey from cheesemaking (and given the apparently huge supply and the rather visible market for whey to supply the supplement, etc., industry, I suspect if it were even marginally economically viable for that use, we wouldn't have articles like the one here.)
