I recall Coggan making essentially the same calc back on the old Wattage List maybe around the early 2000's, which is where it first entered my brain. At the time, since no one could get VO2Max testing except in a lab, we were trying to go the other way: to estimate VO2Max from our FTP so we could see how we compared with Greg or Lance. That was sobering. It was after a bunch of calculatin' that I realized I was never going to play with the big dogs but I might be able to stick with the lap dogs, maybe, if I paid more attention to drag reduction.
