What for? The axis of the driveshaft would always be parallel to the axis of the wheel and perpendicular to the axis of the motor.
Look at this hand drill:
The hand crank is the electric motor. If you rotate the drill about the hand crank axis, you don’t change any angles between the drivetrain components and don’t need CV or universal joints
Now imagine there is a handle sticking out of the crankshaft that needs to rotate around the shaft with the hand crank as it gets turned. That is the motor.
The video never showed the motor moving along with wheels turning, only the up and down part. In fact, when they showed space savings they showed the motors as stationary with no clear way to turn.

What are you referring to as the crankshaft?
Suspension movement still requires flex in the shaft. There’s no way around it unless the engine moves with the suspension
