Turns out that inward facing mic is to counter body noise - see apple’s website where they say “An inward-facing microphone listens inside your ear for unwanted internal sounds, which your AirPods Pro also counter with anti-noise.”
I was having an issue where I could hear loud thumping with every step as I walked, as many people have described on forums like macrumors. When I saw that apple article, and then the placement of the inward facing mic on iFixIt, I realized that a small amount of ear wax had made it on to the grill in front of the mic. Wiping it off with a damp cloth made the thumping go away completely.
What that means is that apple never fixed the issue of thumping/etc caused by the AirPods making a vacuum in your ear with vents. Instead they accepted that it was inevitable, and countered the thumping with anti-sound. Which means that an AirPod with a dead battery would thump when you walk.
