I'm not who you're replying to, but I will chime in to say that the canister type filters are very common among European cars, and always have been. Many if not most BMWs, Mini, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Audi, Volvo, and others have been using them for decades or longer. My '98 BMW uses that type of filter and it makes oil changes MUCH less messy, and for that reason alone I'm a fan.

I'm assuming hurryinhoosier62's wife drives a V6 Camaro, as I'm pretty sure the V8 models all use a metal filter underneath the engine. My friend's 2022 Camaro ZL1-1LE (supercharged 6.2L) uses a spin-on metal filter underneath the engine.
