The Arduino community did not invent the Kalman filter or sensor fusion.

No, but they have aggressively applied them to self balancing robots which have many of the same issues as the author is dealing with (isolating actual up vector from acceleration vectors etc)

And they're not the only ones to have done so. Adruinos aren't the be-all and end-all of embedded systems, and most projects do not need to give them any credit whatsoever.
