Woubeir,
Not sure, but it could be. Two factors that might work against that are that the hood of their hardshells are often bigger, meaning you'd have to cinch it down significantly more, which might make it more useful to have the separate adjustment points/adjustment directions (up down, front back, neck). I know it says the Squamish hood is helmet compatible, but it's significantly smaller than the hood on my Alpha SL hardshell.
Second, the material would be stiffer.I'm not saying this is insurmountable at all, but this is what I would look at if I had to implement the same cord system in a hardshell.
In this windshirt I really like it. I have a Rab Alpine Jacket windshirt with a great hood. Similar to the Alpha SL hood. It has more adjustment points and might feel more secure when it gets really hardcore. But the hood on the Squamish feels, easier, and has a better, closer, collar in the front. I would have to test how well it holds up in bad conditions.
Don't know if this actually says much, but the cord goes somewhat like this:
Well, if I tried one, it's a long time ago (2007-2008) so my memory may be blurred. And designers at Dead Bird told me they are constantly evaluating and changing their hood designs so I even don't know how relevant my memories are. But I remember that that design was a little different, like this:
