Nope, he genuinely didn't bother to understand the warning before typing it. He may use computers for a living, but that just means he has a lot of very ingrained Windows bad habits to un-learn.
It was some pretty big Internet drama when it happened and he's still trying to defend himself from the near-universal lambasting he got for it. Although I included the link just in case, I'm kinda surprised you (being a person tech-savvy enough to be posting on Lemmy) didn't already hear of it.
He's actually making a second attempt to switch to Linux right now (four years later), initially picked Pop!_OS again, and had some more problems with it. 🤦 He has a second channel where he posts clips from his podcast, and he keeps whining about how the other people doing it with him are having little to no trouble and he's just cursed, LOL.
Yeah, I had never heard of it, I generally stray away from video based mediums, but I am a little surprised I didn't come across articles for it, I can only assume that none of the creators I followed covered it.
Although it was kind of funny to see the beginning of that second video, him still trying to do damage control, it looked for a second like he was going to agree that he had screwed up that install because he said it was 100% his fault and then he Backtracked and said that it wasn't his fault and I'm like so close lol.
