Nonsense.

If the microphone mimicked the shape of the external ear and canal, it would give you faulty measurements since it would provide a compensation for the system that does not exist with all live sounds. Thus, it would assure you of unrealistic reproduction, just the opposite of what is desired.

Now, I have no objection to anyone shaping the sound to suit his or her tastes but to distinguish between these two types of setups as you have is simply wrong, both logically and practically.
