all of the trees mentioned in that page do poorly indoors.
if you hadn't noticed yet it's citing businesses that sell them.

All online bonsai retailers are crap almost all bonsai retailers are crap and do it because they can make higher profits off juvenile plants. Just visit your local
nursery, if you have a bonsai nursery near you i would only recommend buying pots and inorganic material for your soil mix

pretty much any plant center has neglected trees, they're terrible when it comes to taking care of them.
if you don't see them ask if you can see what they have in the back, they might not display the shitty trees they have.
Are bonsai citrus trees real or is it some internet bs?

My cheap juniper is holding up well indoors
Bonsai aren't really a thing, they are a pruning style.
Just go to your local nursery and find specimens with characteristics you want.
Indoors you are probably only going to have luck with Ficus, tropical elm and maybe Mediterranean conifers and for them to grow fast enough to actually work with you will probably need weed style grow lights.
