Beyond this is the practical question of how it in any way
improves upon the traditionally used running bowline.

i think the quick release is main point;
this has floated to top of arborist forums before.
.
i'm not really sure embraced enough to say arborist knot,
rather a knot seen on arborist site.
.
i would not favour it for overhead lowering ;
especially after sudden loading cut/catch,
in rough and tumble environment of working down and around other branches and hazards etc.
.
In any case unless hitched at center of balance, where line is perpendicular to load;
load would hang vertical in line with rope, so should precede with Half Hitch or Marl ;
as virtually all inline/not perpendicular hitch to load scenarios.
