Doesn't that math (wrongly) rely on the fact that you have 0 equity if you dont bet? The answer is surely it depends?

EV of checking is $0 since we never win. EV of betting $100 if villain folds 34% of the time is $0. So if we think villain will fold 50% of the time, betting is clearly superior because our EV will be positive, which is greater than 0. But if we think villain will only fold 10% of the time, betting is clearly inferior because our EV will be negative, which is less than 0.

It still depends. He did not state if we have position or not. If we are last to act and our opponent has checked to us, we have greater than 0 equity by checking.
If we don't have position we have greater than 0 equity if our opponent is not always betting with AK.

It turn goes check-check it also depends on how often we get paid of/ how often we can push him off his hand when we miss..

So what is the most +EV move clearly depends on what our opponent does on both turn and river..
