I did say "many ... but, not all..."
A better microphone for noise rejection is a cardioid, and not
an omnidirectional mic. Right ?
And don't leave out Bob Heil... he claims to have a microphone with
no proximity effect and I have seen him demonstrate it in person
at Dayton. He makes a pretty credible case for it with his demonstration.

This is a characteristic of CARDIOID mics (one-directional) and
bi-directional (figure-8) mics. Omnidirectional (non-directional) mics
do NOT have proximity effect.
One of Electro-Voice's most important mic innovations was
-- a directional mic that does NOT have proximity effect.
but the EV mics are the only ones that succeeded in
the marketplace.
