This could make sense some day in limited enthusiast applications. Not likely for a regular production car, but maybe some type of crate motor or after market solution.
The idea here may be that, if we are going to have a hydrogen infrastructure for certain applications - long haul trucking or heavy machinery, for example - why not come up with another creative application that allows us to enjoy combustion vehicles "guilt free" in some capacity? It's obviously very niche, but that doesn't mean there can never be a business case.

I don't think that's strictly true. First, since words matter, its worth keeping in mind that an FCEV - which is what Toyota's Mirai is -
is an EV. Second, while it is certainly true that Toyota has been averse to BEVs in particular in the past, they are beginning to see the writing on the wall there. And finally, they are not the only ones who think that hydrogen will play some role in our zero emissions future.
