What's unclear to me, and part of why this is a garbage article, is whether the VOCs from WD-40 are a result of the aerosolization of the WD-40, or a result of the VOCs in the propellent gas. I believe it's the latter in which case they can literally just replace them with nitrogen as the propellent to have essentially the exact same delivery mechanism.
Anecdotally, I bought one of these cans of WD-40 with a spray pump like 10 years ago just because it was all the store had and have never had an issue with it. I've never come across an application where I'm just spraying WD-40 like a can of spray paint where I need the continuous flow.
