I did read the article and it is intentionally misleading. They count the loss of heat radiated away from the cooking vessel against the efficiency of an induction cooker, but don't mention (or perhaps don't know) that because of the nature of induction heating you can actually use insulated pots with them. You can wrap a pot in your sweater if you want, because there's no open flame.

You can use insulated pots with wood stoves as well. I've even personally seen these sold for camping in the past. I can't find any pre-made ones for sale right now online. But things like the Solo Stove Campfire would work just fine with an insulated pot: https://www.solostove.com/solo-stove-campfire/

Fireproof insulation exists after all. Even something as simple as wrapping a pot with crumbled aluminum foil works quite well: the aluminum traps air, an excellent insulator.
