They're just measuring code size and such. Kilobytes that do not really matter, unless you're embedded.

Right near the end they present some minimal tools that are supposed to have no bloat because they're written in assembly and don't need libc. Turns out these aren't any better than gnu tools with dietlibc, after some shaving.

Not really worth watching through, if you were expecting discussion about real bloat. I think they're just setting up a straw man, a bad one at that too.
