No, there's nothing especially magical about condensers that make the better for commentaries than other mics. Benefits and drawbacks. The proximity effect is nice for giving added presence to the voice but they'll also pick up your cat meowing from the other side of the room. Condensers are very sensitive which can lead to problems in rooms not treated for sound. They just happen to be extremely commonly bought because of the uninitiated recommending the snowball and yeti.
IMO a shure SM58 (dynamic mic) and a proper mixer are superior to any USB condenser for most applications and that mic is far more versatile too
