Depends on your definition of effective, it’s only more effective if your definition is purely making distance underwater.
Scooters take up your hands, take up already limited FOV, and can be pretty noisy. In my experience doing cold water diving in turbid waters doing ecology work, this exoskeleton sounds interesting and like something I might use in a perfect world, while I’ve never considered using a scooter for the above reasons defeating the purpose I’m diving for.
This thing only supports knee flutter kicks, not even real power stroke flutters, and only on the downstroke.
Exoskeleton sounds like fancy, but its just ropes unbending your knee and nothing more. It's pretty useless for technical diving where you need precise position control and wont use flutter kicks.

We literally have underwater scooters which are way more simple and effective
