I can guess why he chose what he did. Ubuntu is still pretty much "the lead" distro for your average Linux Desktop user. Antergos and Tumbleweed are both Rolling distros and likely to be "bleeding edge" as far as any kernel changes, making them more likely to work with the recent AMD hardware.
Clear Linux is the oddball out. Larabel uses it alot in his performance testing articles. The distro is maintained by Intel and they do some specific performance tuning to the kernel to work better with their chips. As a result, it usually edges out in performance on some tests[0]. That's probably why he included it.
